Warrior: Coupé, by Michael A. Stackpole, is the final novel in the Warrior Trilogy.

From the back cover

The minions of Maximilian Liao are about the deliver a crippling blow to the forces of Prince Hanse Davion—discovering a way to use Hanse's own technology against him.

Half a galaxy away, assassins stalk Hanse's wife, Melissa Steiner, and her mother, Archon Katrina Steiner, in the passageways of their own palace. Invasion is imminent.

The only 'Mech force capable of stopping that invasion—the mercenary Kell Hounds—is trapped in a game of search and destroy with the most fearsome Kurita unit ever formed. Even if they come back in time... how many would make it?

In a world where ten-meter-tall war machines are the soul of battle, assassins are state policy, and a spy's loyalty is always for sale, the only thing certain is death. Who can you trust? And in the bitter end, how will you be betrayed?

Summary

Prologue

ComStar's First Circuit is divided over how to respond to the outbreak of the Fourth Succession War. Precentor Myndo Waterly is up in arms about Hanse Davion's highly successful surprise attack on the Capellan Confederation, but Primus Julian Tiepolo stalls her motion, arguing that ComStar must maintain their neutral and pacifistic image in order to maintain control behind the scenes. Still, subtle measures are initiated to hamper the Davion war efforts.

Justin Xiang Allard steals triple-strength myomer from FS and outfits House Imarra mechs on Sian, which burn up on contact with green gas. Melissa Steiner is pregnant from Hanse. Morgan Hasek-Davion leads the new Kathil Uhlans in defense of Kathil against Death Commandos. ComStar poses as Death Commandos to strike at NAIS, but fails to destroy it. Kell Hounds meet Genyosha, and Morgan Kell defeats Yorinaga without firing. Clovis kills Duke Aldo Lestrade on Summer. Justin returns to FS. Jeana dies saving Katrina Steiner from plot.
