BattleTech: Kell Hounds Ascendant: A BattleTech Collection (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781638611196)

NEVER BET AGAINST THE KELL BROTHERS...

Since their first appearance in the Warrior Trilogy, the Kell Hounds have become one of the most storied mercenary units in BattleTech. Now, New York Times-bestselling author and Kell Hounds creator Michael A. Stackpole goes back to the Hounds' beginnings, when Morgan and Patrick Kell were just two smart, ambitious brothers-with a plan to revolutionize the world of mercenaries forever...

Not the Way the Smart Money Bets: Arriving on Galatea to launch the Kell Hounds, Morgan and Patrick Kell encounter a few obstacles, including a ruthless crime lord. But the Kell brothers have faced long odds before and come out on top...and this time will be no different...

A Tiny Bit of Rebellion: When Galatea is threatened by a religious zealot who wants to spread his repressive theocracy across the entire planet, the Kell Hounds have their first job: put down this uprising, and fast. But with thousands of converted civilians on his side, how will Morgan and Patrick end his misguided crusade without shedding innocent blood?

A Clever Bit of Fiction: When the Kell Hounds are hired to provide security for war games on Zavijava, Morgan Kell gets a chance to get to know Prince Ian Davion. But when raiders land, he suddenly faces two threats-stopping the invaders while protecting the Prince. And before the fighting is over, Morgan must make a dangerous choice, with the fate of three Great Houses lying in the balance...

If Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot...: Morgan Kell returns home to find his paramour, Veronica Matova, has vanished without a trace. Desperate to find her, Morgan tasks the Hounds to track her down-and uncovers a conspiracy to destroy the Kell Hounds' reputation using Veronica as a hostage. But these shadowy enemies don't realize who they're dealing with...and no force in the Inner Sphere will help them once Morgan Kell finds them...
