BattleTech Universe Series / D. R. T. / James D. Long

The Black Thorns, freshly returned from their victory in Borghese (but out of money), accept a high-profile assignment on the world of Wolcott, a Draconis Combine world deeply owned by Clan Nova Cat and Clan Smoke Jaguar. Due to their financial desperation, they accept a risky assignment that takes them deep into the clans. Can they make it out alive or will they be swallowed up by a superior clan force?
In this new adventure based on the popular science fiction role-playing game, the rebels fight an intergalactic war against the armies of the government to capture a priceless prize.
