Sie sind bis zu 15 Meter hoch, wiegen bis zu 75 Tonnen und speien Tod und Vernichtung - die riesigen von Menschen gesteuerten Kampfmaschinen, die BattleMechs des 31. Jahrhunderts. Das Sternenreich der Menschen ist zerfallen. Angeheuerte Söldnerhaufen ziehen mit ihren Stahlkolossen in die Schlachten der sogenannten Nachfolgekriege. Die Piloten der BattleMechs sind tollkühne Männer und Frauen, die für Geld ihre Haut zu Markte tragen, und viele von ihnen finden den Tod, weil ihre Kampfmaschinen veraltet und dem konzentrierten Feuer aus Laserwaffen und Raketen nicht immer gewachsen sind.

Nachdem sie auf dem Planeten Golandrinas mit der brutalen Deathgeld-Söldnertruppe aneinandergeraten sind – und dabei auch auf ein Golddepot im Wert von zig Millionen C-Noten gestoßen waren –, kehrt Durant Carlyle zusammen mit dem Rest von Colby’s Commandos auf die kleine Welt zurück, um herauszufinden, ob die Mietlinge auf eigene Faust gehandelt haben, oder ob noch ein größerer Akteur mit im Spiel ist.

Es hätte ein einfacher Job sein sollen. Durant Carlyle und seine Commandos wurden angeheuert, um den abgelegenen Bergbauplaneten Golandrinas vor einem lokalen Kriegsherrn und dessen Söldnern zu beschützen. Aber nahe der Peripherie sind die Dinge nur selten wie sie scheinen, und was ein simpler "Suchen und Zerstören"- Auftrag sein sollte, wird für Durant und seine Leute um einiges gefährlicher. Als sie die wahre Natur der Feindmission aufdecken, müssen Colbys Commandos neue Regeln lernen, um zu überleben.

Ein Sturm tost... Und Durant Carlyle steckt mittendrin fest. Seine Söldnertruppe, Colbys Commandos, hat bei dem Versuch, einen brutalen Kriegsherrn auf dem eisigen Planeten Golandrinas auszuschalten, mehr gefunden als erwartet. Die Freude über das Vermögen in Gold währt jedoch nicht lange, denn der Feind wird alles tun, um es sich zurückzuholen. Genau darauf setzen Durant und die Commandos. Mit dem erbeuteten Gold als Köder wollen sie die gegnerischen Söldner in eine Falle locken und ein für alle Mal erledigen.

Thirty meters tall, 70 tons of quick-striding death and destruction, the armored war machines called BattleMechs are the frontline forces of the crumbling star empire locked in the horror of the endless Succession Wars. Their pilots are MechWarriors, 31st-century knights riding armored machines powerful enough to take a city apart. Grayson Death Carlyle had been training to be a MechWarrior since he was 10 years old, but his graduation came sooner than expected.

Leading the newly-formed Gray Death Legion has been challenging for Grayson Death Carlyle, so when a job comes their way, he’s only too happy to take it. The mission: train the local resistance on the planet Verthandi to resist their Draconis Combine masters. But things do not go well almost from the moment the Legion arrives. Trapped on Verthandi and facing a superior force and a fractured populace, the men and women of the Legion find themselves in a situation that makes the campaign on Trellwan look like a walk in the park.

The Gray Death Legion is in the employ of the Free Worlds League and has even been given a landhold on the planet Helm. But dark forces conspire against them, and the Legion soon finds themselves declared renegade war criminals, fair game for anyone to attack. Now, they are on the run on their home planet, trying desperately to reach safety before the might of House Marik falls upon them. They are about to discover the true motives of those who engineered their downfall. And what they discover will change the Inner Sphere forever....

"Es war klar, was passieren würde, wenn es zum Krieg kommt. Zuerst würden die strategisch wichtigen Ziele ausgeschaltet. Politiker, Militärs, Stützpunkte, Basen - vor allem Kommunikations-Knotenpunkte. Dann, wenn der Kontinent faktisch wehrlos war, würden die mechanischen Streitkräfte der UNSA und Eurasiens einen Frontenkrieg mitten in Europa losbrechen." Nur ein Traum? Eine Vision? Ein düsterer Ausblick auf eine mögliche Zukunft? Mit Ein Traum vom Armageddon präsentiert OLIVER DÖRING die moderne Version von H.G. WELLS klassischer Science Fiction-Kurzgeschichte als packendes Drama.

Captain Jacob T. Grimm has lost his ship. Relegated to training duty, he's a warrior without a war. Until an assassin strikes, leaving Nadia wounded and the Alliance on the defense. The Fleet Admiral needs every ship to strike at the Caliphate and end the war. Which leaves only one problem, Alexandria will be defenseless. There's only one man who can fill the void. Commanding a nameless, untested battleship, Jacob must defend Alexandria against a Caliphate Task Force armed with an experimental juggernaut.

With the help of DesRon 12 and the stalwart spacers of the USS Interceptor, he's going to bring the Guild to their corporate knees. On Cordoba, things aren't going well for the Marines. Local infantry are eager to attack, while refugees are forced out of the capital city on the verge of winter. The Spanish planet is in trouble. However, not all is as it seems.

Idealistic Navy Lieutenant Jacob Grimm just wanted to honor his mother’s sacrifice in the last great war. When he’s forced to return fire and destroy a squadron of ships to save his own, he thinks he’s the hero...until they discover the ships are full of children. Disgraced and denied promotion, Jacob’s career is over. That is until the head of ONI needs a disposable officer to command a battered destroyer on the rim.

While the Alliance and their ally reinforce the wormhole, the Caliphate devastates the rest of the Consortium with perfectly timed attacks that are crippling their ship production. No matter where the Consortium defends, the Caliphate is one step ahead.

The Consortium is in real trouble. Caliphate Naval forces have stepped up their raids on the border planets and are taking people by the thousands. They can defend the wormhole, or they can defend their planets, not both.

Commander Jacob T. Grimm is eager to get back in the war, but when an ambassador to a nothing planet called Cordoba pulls strings, Interceptor is the convenient puppet. Assigned to escort the ambassador, accompany the Marines, and participate in wargames with Cordoba, Jacob fears the only action will be against boredom. He couldn't be more wrong.
