Summary: Civil War anyone ?
Comment: Opening this book I was happy to see just how much information was given on each unit(numbers, loyalty, experiance) not to mention the listing of new mechs, ships, and weapons. I was however disappointed that there wasn't much information on the impending civil war brewing between the Federated Suns and the Lyran Alliance, despite the fact that both are being run by Katherine Steiner-Davion.
The nice thing about the situation is its easy to tell what side you support by how you pronounce her name. Katrina for the pro-Lyrans. Katherine for the pro-Davions.

Summary: FASA suddenly hates the FedCom.
Comment: For those long time FedCom units out there, you will hate this book. Essentially a book on FedCom incompetence, this field manual dissolves all of the strengths of the FedSuns and turns it into a mindless zombie state with no sence of direction. Things and situations are far too drastic, and the FedSuns/Lyran civil war is just a cheap way to make new conflict now that the Clans have been put into place by Ops: Bulldog and Serpent. The book makes no political sense, and it only exists to further the plot and sales of the BattleTech game. Did I mention most of the art is awful? Not all, but most. The only redeaming aspect is the new battle suit, and the cover by Doug Chaffee.

Summary: Davion Rebirth
Comment: I have to say, that I was surprised how many listed Davion units are loyal to Katherine Steiner-Davion. Still, loyalties change all the time in this universe. Despite that, I am sure the book will put at ease those B-Tech fans who think the AFFC/AFFS is no longer as potent as it was during the Succession Wars. Although the Federated Suns is not as up to date as other Inner Sphere powers, certainly they can hold their own in superior organization and tactics.
The real question is, even with the resurgence of the Star League and detente with the Draconis Combine, can the Federated Suns, and the Federated Commonwealth survive the sundering of Civil War? This Field Manual will reveal the strengths and weaknesses of the Federated Suns, and with the Lyran manual, "stack the forces" together to let readers understand the unsettling future ahead. A must-read.
