The Killing Fields

The battles for the St. Ives Compact lead to conflict both on the field and in the actions of people taking part.
This was a good sequel, with plenty of mech action. Fizzled out slightly towards the end, but leaving Sun-Tzu Liao in a better position then before.
This book/story arc actually does him a bit of justice, showing him to be a shrewd, calculating character working towards his dream of a reunited Confederacy.
