BattleTech: Betrayal of Ideals

There's something psychotically absurd about Clan society and Blaine Pardoe does a great job seeding this not just in the tale of the Wolverines but also in our understanding of Nicholas Kerensky and his direction of the clans.

My only complaint is that there's so much in this story that could have justified a longer series. Pre-Operation Revival Clan stories are just so intriguing because the authors need to lay groundwork for how fascist, warrior dictatorship doesn't collapse under it's own craziness. In a way, I wish this book had been fleshed out even more and was the foil for an excellent sourcebook like Wars of Reaving.
