THE QUEST FOR BATTLEMECHS TAKES ITS TOLL ON ALL WHO SEEK THEM...
Fall Down Seven Times, Get Up Eight is the fourth of six BattleTech novellas detailing the struggle to create the next awesome weapon to rule the battlefield-the BattleMech.
The BattleMech. King of the battlefield. Prized. Feared. Coveted.
Fearing being left behind in the arms race among the other Great Houses, the Draconis Combine will do anything-anything-to possess this fearsome technology.
Even grind its most loyal subject into useless husks in a decades-long attempt to gain the information the Dragon so desperately needs.
Two brothers. One an intelligence analyst and deep-cover operative, the other a leader in the Combine's commando unit. Both with the same goal-recover the BattleMech plans-but with very different ideas on how to accomplish it. But only one will survive and emerge triumphant... or will the Dragon's machinations destroy them both?
