A sci-fi adventure novel based in the Battletech universe. Kai Allard-Liao has returned to the world that made his father famous, the gaming planet of Solaris VII. But being the Gaming World's Champion is the least of his worries as conflicts abound, from the arrival of a former lover to the assassination plot of a political leader.

The real Solaris novel

5 stars

Lots of internal Federated Suns politics, 'Mech fights short and sweet Solaris VII battles. One of Stackpole‘s better novels and a good one in the series. When Kai, Victor and co were introduced, I didn’t like them at all. Now, they’ve grown to adult characters who know what they’re capable of. The shadow of the FedSuns civil war is becoming visible. I like it, it’s on the list of non-skippable books.
