GHOSTS IN THE DARK…

Jasper and Nadine Roux are cadets at the Ritza MechWarrior Academy; a dream come true for the orphaned siblings from the war-torn planet of Hoff. For the last six years, Emporia has been their home. Sponsored to the academy by the powerful Vogel House, both cadets are expected to excel in all tasks. Their dream becomes a nightmare when the Draconis Combine lands at their door.

It’s up to the siblings to stop a renegade Seventh Ghost Regiment warlord when he lays claim to a piece of the Inner Sphere—starting with the Federated Suns’ planet of Emporia. The border world looks like easy prey, but this warrior of the Dragon is about to learn how wrong he is. After the few MechWarriors on the planet are taken hostage, the Sponsored and Blooded cadets of the Ritza Academy fight like they have nothing left to lose.

It’s a fight that will cost them more than they know...

Started a bit slow introducing the Roux, but ends up being a good story about kids growing up in times of war. Hat's off to Mrs. Brozek, for creating an interesting cast. I have ordered all three books because at this point I have to know how it all ends.

One of the best battletech books I have read. I also like the fact the battletech is getting back to its roots. Good old fashioned kurita vs davion action. With the time jump to 3150, 100 years after the clan invasion, And the crap jihad/dark age story lines, I am hoping to have more books like this one.

Holy crap. I have been waiting on this for a while now. Met the author at a PNW con last year and enjoyed our conversation.
Long story short, Ya book like harry potter. She writes characters like George RR Martin(game of thrones). Book is well written and paced. Highly recomend

4.0 out of 5 stars Too short.
Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2019

The book felt too short. I read through it in a few hours. Over all, a solid start, good character building on the two mains, everyone else is furnature or fodder. Dracs also written to have a bit of an accent which, i find problematic because aside from being bilingual, they speak perfect english. Liao on the otherhand i might understand. Not dracs. The inconsistancy of how they speak ripped me right from my suspension of disbelief to correct the bad grammar in my head like a proper grammar nazi. Good book over all. I will be buying the next two. So make them loooong. Everyone loves a good long story arc.

Loved the story and it's basis. Too much of the Japanese words for the enemy info. Just unnecessary filler words. Great story though. I WILL be reading the sequel.

The characters are memorable, and the lore covered works nicely in the story. A good selection of mechs makes the fights interesting but the highlight is definitely the interaction of the characters between those moments. I look forward to the next book

Jennifer Brozek diffently stepped her game up this time around. You can tell she used her resources and let others help in the Battltech line. It's a good start for young adults. I still feel she has growing to do as a Battletech author but this was a step in the right direction. Somethings don't need to be in it but they tell a story of culture as it is confused.

Reviewed in Canada on April 17, 2019

This is the first of the current setting Battletech novels I have read and I was extremely apprehensive. The Young Adult genre and Dark Age setting could have been a recipe for disaster. Instead the author delivered an extremely entertaining book that captures the best in Battletech action with a modern twist. Very enjoyable and I recommend it to old and new fans alike.

You probably got here because you know something about battletech already. this is not the allmighty experienced mechwarrier going through a standard sequence of heroics, but the plucky kids at the academy faced with things they were only barely prepared for. raising the stakes and setting up what is going to be one heck of a trilogy. I loved this book and am eagerly looking forward to the next!
