From the Back Cover[edit]
| “ | Collected for the first time is the classic trilogy that gave readers their first behind-the-scenes look at the formidable Jade Falcon Clan: Way of the Clans, Bloodname, and Falcon Guard. Three centuries of continuous warfare will culminate at the gateway to Earth in one final battle to decide the fate of humanity for all time....
In the thirty-first century, the BattleMech is the ultimate war machine - an unstoppable engine of destruction. And the Clans are the ultimate warriors, high-tech soldiers genetically engineered to be the most fearsome BattleMech pilots of all. Aidan Pryde aspires to be a young warrior of the Jade Falcon Clan. First he must undergo a rigorous series of trials that will either earn him a coveted Bloodname—or cast him out in disgrace. With a Bloodname comes honor, respect, and the distinction of being one of the best warriors in the galaxy. But not all battles are fought in the field behind the controls of a BattleMech. Aidan will find that his toughest challenge yet will be within his mind: to maintain his humanity amid the horrors of war and the soul-killing threat of failure. Only the strongest will survive—and bring honor and glory to the Clan. |
