The younger Carlyle seems to be as plot-proof as his father, which took a big chunk of the expected tension away: he'd survive and perform fantastic, heroic acts.
Content Warnings
Moderate: Gun violence, War, and Violence
Minor: Death of parent, Death, Child death, Confinement, and Grief
brian's review against another edition
4.0
As tensions start to mount between the Steiner and Davion camps, a raid is planned on the base planet of the Gray Death Legion.
With their leaders off planet, it's up to Alex Carlyle to try and mount a defence...
Lots of Mech action in this one, some good characters. The most annoying thing is the Scottish weapons master whose speech is written almost phonetically. In small doses, it might add character, but he's a fairly major part in this book and it just grates after a while.
