Book Review: Exodus Road
Summary: 5 Stars

Blaine Lee Pardoe will always have my respect for this book. In a series of novels dominated by Inner Sphere biased authors, only one other author has dedicated his work to the Clans, Robert Thurston. We need more authors like Thurston who bring us the Clans, for he cant do it alone. Now, Blaine Pardoe has for at least this one book, brought us that.

To Jaguar fans, the circumstances of the book might not be so well with you, though I hate the circumstances, it is my absolute favorite book. We start with Star Captain Trent of the 267th Battle Cluster, a Smoke Jaguar veteran of the bloodbath of Tukayyid. Deeply scarred and humiliated, he defeats a ComGuard named Judith, and claims her as his Bondsman, making her a Smoke Jaguar. Trent loves his honor, and values honor and the Way of The Clans more than anything else.

One day, he ends up transfered to the 3rd Jaguar Cavaliers, of Star Colonel Paul Moon, a bitter and skilled Elemental infantryman. Moon hates Trent unlike anything else, and will do anything he can to get rid of Trent.

Trent's honor and his obedience to the Clan Way is suddenly interrupted by political maneuvering and corruption all the way to the Khan of the Clan, making Trent wonder where his Clan is going. Meanwhile, Trent's new friend and tech, Judith, though now loyal to the Smoke Jaguars, offers Trent a new way, also benefitting her own goals. Trent now has to chose between two extremes: Loyalty to a Clan that hates him and who he feels has betrayed the Clan Way, OR seeking his own honor and still adhering to the Clan Way, just not in his own Clan....
