BattleTech: Break-Away (The Proliferation Cycle, #1)

ADD TO WISHLIST >

THE UNTOLD STORY OF THE INVENTION OF THE BATTLEMECH...

Break-Away is the first of six novellas detailing the struggle to create the next awesome weapon to rule the battlefield—the BattleMech.

In the mid-25th century, factions of mankind are desperate to invent the next technological leap in warfare—a machine that would give each group an overwhelming advantage on the battlefield. And no one is more aware of the race to perfect this new machine than the leaders on Terra.

But during the final trials to find the first pilot for the Terran prototype, the contest is infiltrated by a deadly enemy who wants to ensure that no one survives. It's up to the last remaining Terran candidate—and a scientist struggling to make a breakthrough on the human-machine interface that will control this new war machine—to save Terra's BattleMech program from those who wish to destroy it.

Note: This digital edition includes ePub and Mobi (Kindle) versions of the novel.

Received this one, and all the other proliferation short stories/novellas, as part of the recent miniatures game Kickstarter. The series overall, how the Mech technology 'proliferates' to different factions is a really good overall arc, with maybe no real shining gems or standout moments. It's just good "Dorito" BattleTech novellas. I think Break-Away is one of the better formed and written of the series, and I also like the very current/Earthly-near-future feel. BattleTech fans, and those who know a bit about each House's character, probably glean a bit more, but this is just overall approachable, quick, and fun.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
