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.

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.

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.

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.

They are about to discover the true motives of those who engineered their downfall. And what they discover will change the Inner Sphere forever....

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.

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.

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.
