A few editing and proof-reading problems like typos The main Character “Trent” is called “Kent” a few times. A few times the characters are referred to by the incorrect rank. And at one point there’s a big reveal that wasn’t actually a big reveal because it was revealed at the start of the book... but is still treated as a big reveal as if it hadn’t been revealed at the start of the book.

Internal politics and striving for personal glory have watered down the intent of the Clans.
Trent is a Smoke Jaguar warrior, after saving the life of his clan mate during the battle of Tukkayid but taking massive injuries himself, he discovers she has twisted the truth of the matter during his recovery.
Other clan members start to shun him and treat him as though he was personally responsible for the failure of the whole battle.
A prisoner taken during the battle helps him see that the clans are at fault rather than him.
A daring plan is hatched to help him escape with something the Inner Sphere desparately need if they want to start taking the fight to the Clans.
This is a really good start to the Twilight of the Clans arc, plenty of mech action and also a good cast of characters to keep the story moving at a good pace.
