WHEN ALL SEEMS LOST... All his life, Sturm Kintaro wanted to be a MechWarrior. Now he is one—untested in combat, but eager to show his prowess and be transferred away from the backwater planet Kore. But he is about to get a bigger opportunity than he ever wanted when a band of interstellar pirates launches a surprise attack and takes control of the planet. After the rout, Sturm finds himself stranded in the frozen wastes of Kore with no 'Mech, no help, and no hope... ONE MAN RISES TO THE CHALLENGE. Until he stumbles upon a long-hidden secret, one that will help him prove himself a worthy MechWarrior. Now Sturm must wage a one-man war against the invading force—and resurrect a ghostly legend of Kore—if he is going to save his people from annihilation.

A CLASH OF WARRIORS… As Clan Wolf launches a daring campaign of reprisal against the splintering Republic, three warriors will find their destinies intertwined on the field of battle and in the fight for their futures... Alaric is a living legend among the Wolves: fearless, merciless, ruthless. But his own lust for victory may mean his undoing, unless he learns to see beyond himself—and recognize what a true warrior fights for. Anastasia is a former Wolf Clan warrior, now leading a band of mercs against her one-time comrades. She knows that to lead, she must prove not only her command ability, but her complete separation from the Wolves. And there is only one way to do that—in combat. Verena is the new commander of a ragtag merc force. Her desire for greatness will uncover her own superior abilities and draw her ever closer to a final confrontation in which mercy is unheard of—and only death awaits the unworthy...

A SPARK OF REBELLION… When the Republic of the Sphere was established, it absorbed a quarter of Capellan Confederation space. Now that the crippled Republic is embattled everywhere, the Confederation Chancellor sends an operative into former Capellan territory to nurture the seeds of rebellion. Freedom fighter Evan Kurst has resisted the Republic's “benevolent occupation” of the world of Liao for as long as he can remember. He has fought side by side with agents from the Confederation, and rallied other fighters to the cause. Until now, his efforts have been in vain. But amid the chaos of the interstellar communications blackout, Kurst sees a new chance to liberate his homeworld and return it to its rightful rulers. The Chancellor's support is assured, and embodied in the person of Mai Wa, the operative sent to ensure Kurst's success. But Mai has betrayed Kurst before, and his biggest problem remains knowing whom to trust in a world where today’s ally is tomorrow's enemy…
