À propos de cet audio

FLIGHT INTO THE UNKNOWN.

100 million dead. 500 million wounded. One billion homeless. The worst war in human history is over—and has left the Star League shattered. Jealousy and infighting from the five Great House Lords over who will be the next First Lord has the entire Inner Sphere already teetering on the brink of all-out conflict again.

Against this grim backdrop, Aleksandr Kerensky, commanding general of the Star League Defense Force, faces a terrible choice. Stay, and see the mightiest military ever known subsumed into the Great Houses, lighting a conflagration that may burn even brighter than the terrible Amaris Coup. Or do the unthinkable.

To save the Inner Sphere, Aleksander—along with his sons, Nicholas and Andery—must leave it behind. He marshals the largest fleet ever assembled to carry millions of people on thousands of JumpShips to head into the unknown. Exodus!

But though the Great General strives to make a fresh start for his people far from the Inner Sphere, old habits and allegiances are difficult to leave behind. Soon the Kerenskys and their followers face threats both external and internal as they search the endless black for a new world upon which they can forge a Star League-in-Exile…or die trying.

I really did enjoy the world building of this book. And the deeper dive into the Kerenskys. I understand if you are just looking to listen to stories of mechs beating on eachother this might not be for you.

Battletech without heavy emphasis on mech but great none the less!

On one hand I think this is a great look at how much you can squeeze out of the BT franchise without focussing on the actual fights and spectacle of battlemechs. This is dense with history details, cultural examination and interpersonal drama with tons of payoff and interesting highlights.

However, the writing also comes with a lot of odd baggage such as a few phrases or descriptors that are repeated ad nauseum (nearly every time the protagonists emotions are described it is via informing us how much he wants to vomit) and certain events/character interactions repeat in odd patterns.

It should also be mentioned that the narration can be janky. While the main narrator does a great job the secondary VAs for female characters have very differing levels of microphone quality and one of the characters early on is genuinely hard to understand.

Good example of battletech-without-battlemechs
