Battletech is a well written and rich univers filled with intersting charters and wonderful places.
I feel that the battletech univers is so in depth that you could play an entire campagin as something other than combat personal and still have a great time.
The storyline is also well written, and provides a perspective that few of the battletech books in the past have shown since it is told mostly from a Cappellan view point, and the Liaos aren't automatically painted as the (somewhat shallow) bad guys as they were in some earlier novels.

 Battletech History Report
When Victor becomes Archon Prince, Katherine will become regent in the Federated Suns when the court is in Tharkad, while Peter will be regent of the Lyran Commonwealth when the court is in New Avalon.
Most of the opposition to Archon Melissa's rule has gathered around Duke Ryan Steiner, protégé of the late Alessandro Steiner, the man whom Katrina Steiner deposed as Archon and thus her long-time enemy.
Though a few anti-merger bastions still exist, most notably Duke Ryan Steiner's separatist movement, there is no denying the military strength and economic vigor of the Federated Commonwealth.
