The second in William H. Keith Jr's 'The Gray Death Legion' trilogy, set in the BattleTech universe and following on from 'Decision at Thunder Rift'.

I do have to wonder, though, why this one is so titled when the vast bulk of the novel has little to no connection at all to the 'Mercenary's Star' of the title, other than that is where the Gray Death legion are contacted for their latest job!

Anyway, those who are into the whole BattleTech universe will get more out of this than those who are not - personally, I'm a little m'eh on the whole setting.

Fascinating
A book about death doesn't sound like a pleasant read, but despite the subject matter this is a fascinating and really informative book.

I knew little about the work of forensic anthropologists and especially had no idea about some of the work detailed in this book, so it was very interesting to read about all of the work, difficulties and benefits involved. It's quite an in depth read and a serious one at that, so it takes a lot of concentration but in the end it's still worth it. I did get a little frustrated at how Blsck referred to death as a "her" - completely understood why, but I would never do this myself and found it odd constantly referring to death as a female and a little bizarre. But aside for this, Black is obviously an expert in her field and her vast knowledgeable and experience is great to read about.
