Sword of Sedition

In the chaos of the interstellar communications blackout, the Capellan Chancellor has sent operative Mai Wa to help freedom fighter Evan Kurst liberate his homeworld. But Mai has betrayed Kurst before, and Evan's biggest problem is knowing who to trust in a world where today's ally is tomorrow's enemy.

The Republic world of Skye is bracing itself for another onslaught from the Jade Falcon Clan. The planet's only hope lies with Jasek Kelswa-Steiner and his Stormhammers—forging an alliance that may be worse than surrender.

The second installment in the new MechWarrior saga begins as aspiring MechWarrior Raul Ortega finds himself called to battle when warring factions who have seceded from the Republic wage war on his home to obtain one of the few working interstellar communication nets.
