==Plot summary==
A first-person narrative by [[Vic Travers]], better known as the Bounty Hunter, the story relates how he and his team—including [[Bounty Hunter#Walt Urizeman|"Walt"]], whom he grooms as his successor—carry out an operation on [[Solaris VII]]. Their target is one Kristof Szabian, who deserted and stole a [[BattleMech]] in the process, and is the son-in-law of an (unnamed) [[Lyran Commonwealth|Lyran]] [[general]]. The same man is now wanted by two people: by the general, and by an equally unnamed noble whose young daughter is with child from Szabian. The Bounty Hunter acquired both contracts, making this effectively a double-pay mission.

Szabian has assumed leadership of a band of outlaws who used to call themselves [[The Highwaymen]] until he renamed them Szabian's Renegades. Walt infiltrates the Renegades and is invited to join a raid against an enemy gang—the Black Hats—for trial. Since the Black Hats are a powerful organization, Walt and his ''[[Thunderbolt]]'' are a welcome addition to their ranks, though the ''Thunderbolt'' is actually piloted by Vic Travers who is a much better [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]] than Walt. It is not until the Renegades have effectively defeated the Black Hats that Szabian himself takes the field, with two camera trucks in tow to generate suitably impressive footage of his ''[[Berserker]]'' destroying the last two enemy 'Mechs.
