Their job is to train the heir of the planet in BattleMech operation, enough to allow him to survive a “mission” in the wilderness as part of his ascension to rule. But ’Mech battlefields have nothing on the sinister plots and machinations of a ruling class to keep what they have—or the simmering rage of an oppressed population. And when rebellion erupts on Maldives, Walter’s jaunt into the forest becomes a deadly fight for survival…and if he doesn’t return the heir apparent back in one piece, the next grave will be his own…
