Publisher's Summary

The year is 3030. For the past 300 years, since the Star League collapse and the rise of the Five Successor States, these mortal enemies have fought over space, land, and politics. But a new threat looms just outside the Inner Sphere. The descendants of an old Star League general, the Clans, bred to be the best military force humanity has ever seen, have come to take what they believe is rightfully theirs.

Terrible editing

This audiobook should be titled Lethal Heritage: highly edited to remove half the context and turn other parts into a complete mystery. I originally read the paper copy of the book many years ago and highly enjoyed the writing style and story. The audio version however has been heavily edited with many parts left out, parts that are needed later to make sense of the storyline and character interactions. One example occurs early after Phelan is interrogated. When he is brought to be cleaned up, the way the audiobook plays the scene he is attacked completely without provocation.

My advice is to buy the print version of the book. It will be more enjoyable for you.

Total Waste

Nothing like the books, bought all three without thinking. Most of the story is missing.
