SOMETIMES THE BEST PRIZES AREN'T FOUND ON THE BATTLEFIELD...

A Dish Served Cold is the fifth of six BattleTech novellas detailing the struggle to create the next awesome weapon to rule the battlefield-the BattleMech.

In the 25th century, the Free Worlds League is fighting for its life against the encroaching Lyran Commonwealth and its new weapon, the BattleMech.

With a new, untested leader on the FWL throne, a precarious plan is hatched to gain the Great House the edge it needs to fight off the invaders. Using guile and seduction, a small team of infiltrators plans to take the information the Free Worlds League desperately needs, and the men who possess it, into their arms in one fell swoop...but how can they create a scenario where these technicians will come over of their own free will?
