I picked this novella up cheap, and I'm glad it was (cheap): I would have felt cheated if I'd paid full price for it.

It also has rather an unusual setting for a Battletech novel - right at the beginning, before the Battletechs are even a thing.

There's none at all in this novella, other than a couple of references to a top secret weapon that is being developed, with a small group of soldiers out on training exercises to see who would get to pilot said weapon.

SO, in short, a read-it-and-forget novella, kind of like eating a sweet between meals.

I enjoyed watching Idris Elba have the living shit beaten out of him by a lion more than I thought I would.
I went to see this on a Wednesday afternoon, when I had a couple of hours to kill, fully expecting to hate it, but it's a genuinely enjoyable thriller horror, with some tense moments. The characters are stupid way more often than they should be, and I got the feeling the script was improvised a fair bit, but honestly, Idris straight up chokes out a snake at one point, before punching the lion in the face a bit later, so it all balances out.
