Hey peeps.

Ived been more and more intressered in the bt story so i was wondering if there were anyway of getting to know the books/story in bt, the things that started it all online or donwload or anything, even buying something maybe?

Only "story" i know : The first thing i saw mech wise was the short cartoon and after that i played MW2 abit, very little MW3 but alot of MW4 + upgrades and then this and when i see everyone talking about "this and that" from the bt and tt i realize that im missing out on alot

Any help would be gladly accepted

Hi! I bought myself a Amazon Kindle and downloaded from the inet 61 BT novels on epub format. (You can find them free... trust me )

If you are starting, I'll really recomend you to start by the Saga of the Gray Death Legion, then the Blood of Kerensky Trilogy and from there... well, whatever you'll like to read!

Here, you can find every novel published separated in eras. Ideal to get you on the correct order

On Ebay, you can find paperback novels for almost a buck or two.

Hope it helped! Welcome!

Here is a great page (with a few errors, of course) of Battletech info. You can even find info to situate the plot of each BT game in existance.

Yeah... it's a quick glance to the whole BT universe. It's a quick starting point to get you going.

BTW, if you want something cool to have by your side as you read new novels is this, a giant detailed stelar map @ 3048

[Aidan Kerensky]

The BEST books to read to get a picture of clan life and what the clans are all about is the Jade Falcon Trilogy and the story of Aidan Pryde. Those books will give you more and better insight into the clans then any others. All of the books are great but I'd recommend going there first.
