Cartomancy by Michael Stackpole
reviewed by Alma A. Hromic
Possibly it's just that this is Book 2 of a series (something that doesn't actually appear anywhere on the FRONT page of the paperback, and which, if Alma had been aware of its nature, she might have thought twice about leaping into mid-stream as it were, trilogies being what they are.

His hero is Corran Horn, Corellian fighter pilot -- independent, hard-headed and with a lust for adventure.

Battletech: Warrior: En Garde by Michael A. Stackpole
reviewed by Alexander von Thorn
The Warrior trilogy helped to transform BattleTech from a board game to a living universe. The story scales seamlessly from personal combat to interstellar intrigue without losing focus, and still holds up a decade after first publication.
