Description

A UNIVERSE AT WAR...

It is the year 3027, and the Inner Sphere is at war. Centuries of near-constant warfare have left the feudal realms exhausted and near collapse, but none will surrender. National armies clash on hundreds of worlds, and hired proxies—mercenaries—fight on countless more. Mighty MechWarriors lead their BattleMechs like the ancient knights of old, but they are not the only soldiers on these brutal battlefields.

Fusion-powered tanks, heavily armored and nearly as powerful as 'Mechs, roam the battlefields, and few are as deadly as the ones in Halsten's Brigade, in the service of House Steiner's Lyran Commonwealth. Even fewer are as deadly as tank gunner Private Frederick "Sniper" Jones, the man even MechWarriors fear. Put him in a Schrek PPC Carrier, point him at the enemy, and he'll take them down. Leaving him with nothing but dreams of how things could have gone wrong, until the next enemy comes along...

Sniper collects two previously-published short stories: "Sniper" and "Panzer."
