It does not belong here much but it does not belong to offtopic either. I'm in contact with one of our local book producer in our country. They are specialising on Fantasy and Sci-fi books... I've asked them about the Battletech novels as it is pretty much non existing thing in my country and I can only order them from US or UK in english language.

The problem is that they are unable to make any contact with anyone who could own the rights for Book reprints, translations etc. I've made a lot of searching and gave them many hints to who to contact but they were unsucessfull so far.

So my question is, does anyone of you here (Devs more probably) know who is the current right owner for book reprints? It would make me so much happier if I could buy the book in my country and read them in my native language...

Fingers crossed. ;)

I`d guess ROC (for the US )or the author himself ? Maybe its all gone from Fasa and wizkids to Catalyst Game Labs ? In Germany it was Heyne you hold the right in the old days ... sorry no help for your question i think .

I hope you are right about the Catalyst Labs as I think they have only rights for the Table tops ... the last time I've checked (a year ago) the rights were in status quo as nobody knew where they were transferred from Wizkids. I will try to contact the Catalyst Labs then. Thanks again.
