Battletech 39: Sword and Fire (Twilight Of The Clans) par Thomas S. Gressman
A tough read. Started using it as a night-time book to put myself to sleep thanks to all the military pedantry.
This is a frustrating book. It's not even the author's fault. The premise of the whole novel is a bit of a bore: Operation Serpent's trip into CSJ space. There's an interesting surprise at the end, but really, Gressman's given the thankless task of making something interesting happen during an exercise in logistics.

The novel comes after a good start to the series and a serviceable "great game" plot for book 2, so it's a really tough slog in comparison when the plot is non-existent and the characters are basically having meetings and planning sessions for the duration of the book.… (plus d'informations)

I just did not care about a single character in Task Force Serpent.
