A great start to the magnificent Battletech series!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This is the first novel in the Gray Death trilogy that starts the greatest achievement in science fiction - Battletech. It's a series playing in a long future when the known human universe is divided between five superpowers engaged in a constant struggle for dominance. The main characteristic of the Battletech universe is the use of a new form of superior war machines called the BattleMech's. The BattleTech novels are stories about MechWarriors - men and women who operate those devastating metal giants.The BattleTech universe's social structure is some kind of neo-feudalism, and in the new kind of warfare, individual courage, cleverness and performance are of great importance. The five superpowers resemble of certain nations of today's Earth and have very different political orders and ideologies. "Decision at Thunder Rift" is the book you should start the lecture of BattleTech with. A must-read for every SF fan!

First BattleTech Book I ever read and it got me hooked.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
I read this book about four years ago thinking that it was just another sci-fi novel. I had finished the book 3 days later, and I was searching for another of the series. It was great! I've read all the novels of the Gray Death Series and am waiting for more.
