Battletech: Way of the Clans: Legend of the Jade Phoenix #1 (Battletech #13)

In the 31st century, the BattleMech is the ultimate war machine. Thirty meters tall, and vaguely, menacingly man-shaped, it is an unstoppable engine of destruction. In the 31 century, the Clans are ultimate warriors. The result of generations of controlled breeding, Clan Warriors pilot their BattleMechs like no others. Aidan aspires to be a Warrior of Clan Jade Falcon. To win the right to join his Clan in battle, he must succeed in trials that will forge him into one of the best warriors in the galaxy, or break him completely.
