Any book line with such a long history and a fanatical following of readers will have problems involving new writers who continue to fail to read and recognize the origins of their new stories.A Silence in The Heavens is far better than the previous book Ruins of Power, however, this book seems to be more of a stand alone novel than the first of a trilogy. While the Mech battles are fast and furious, the storyline gets bogged down in the repetition of character description (Ok, we know Tara Campbell was a media darling as a child... must it be mentioned EVERY time someone meets her?) and political powerplays.The book also lacked the true feel of a story arc within the Clans (As if no mechwarrior has a nickname for their mech, everything was Ryoken II and Blade Mech and Hatchetman, etc. Extremely alienating). It lacked the amount of respect owed these great warriors, and made one of the most pivotal and defining moments thus far in this new galaxy into a mere four page side note.On the plus side, this book provided the first glimpses of bigger things to come, foreshadowing Liao involvement in the universe through the jaded memories of Paladin Ezekiel Crow. The description and character development of the Paladin provided more of a glimpse into the Republic of the Sphere, while also creating a sublime and secondary story-arc that can be continued in the future novels.While this book is a far cry from the horros of Ruins of Power... it remains below Ghost War and A Call To Arms in the Mechwarrior Universe... but the trilogy still has the potential to be a stellar success.
Having just read several of the "Mechwarrior: Dark Age" novels in the past few weeks, this one stands out as a journeyman piece of writing. It is certainly ahead of amateurish efforts like "the Ruins of Power." In DelRio's novel the descriptions are fresh and show a flair for fresh images, the characters are genuinely interesting and make sense, with sensible and believable motivations, and the books' "straight-ahead" plot draws us forward to learn the fate of Northwind.In case anyone cares, the title is taken from a line in Shakespeare's Hamlet. Much of the book's fascination comes with the clash of two well-drawn woman characters-- Anastasia Kerensky, who is also known as Tassa Kay, and Tara Campbell, the beautiful Dutchess of Northwind. The character of Tassa Kay comes forward from another "Mechwarrior: Dark Age" novel entitled "Call to Duty." She was the most interesting character in that novel, and she loses little of her luster here. Tassa/Anastasia is a warrior, but also a rather hot number with a flair for passionate, extracurricular love affairs.Since I really enjoyed this book, I will very much look forward to the second and third volumes of the trilogy. Yup, that's right-- this is the first book of a 3-volume trilogy.Probably the trilogy structure accounts for one of the greatest faults of "A Silence in the Heavens," which is the lame, unsatisfying ending. It is more a hiatus than a true ending, since the writer is priming us for the second novel.It probably should be mentioned that the book well balances "palace intrigue" against battle action. Two major battles are portrayed in detail as the author skillfully incorporates several points of view -- an infantryman's view, a tank commander's view, a mechwarrior's view, and the supreme commander's view. Some readers have complained about particular BattleTech novels as being starved for action scenes-- they will surely be satisfied with "A Silence in the Heavens."A good book. I eagerly await the remaining volumes of this trilogy.Patrick Callahan
First off, I must say that I'm glad to see the MechWarrior books tying in with characters from the game. Tara Bishop graces us with her presence and we see the return of the Kerenskys once again. I was impressed and surprised to see Anastasia Kerensky's philosophy differed from the Warden Ulric that I knew and loved, but it makes for a much more twisted story. I was disappointed, though, to see the relative ease with which one of the main characters from the game was so removed from the MechWarrior Dark Age Universe and the fact that the Steel Wolves just can't seem to get a break. Maybe the people at WizKids are thinking that the Wolves were just too powerful in the previous story arcs, but I would like to see them win at least one battle!! The action in this book is good and I am looking forward to the sequel. I'm also hoping that we'll find out more about the Liao campaigns as the storyline progresses. For us old-timers, this book goes a ways to redeeming the storyline from The Ruins of Power novel. A good read overall.
