I have most of the original Battletech novels... 44 of them... but none go beyond 3067, in EndGame. I don't have any of the Dark Age novels, but they are supposed to be set in 3132+

Is there anything that covers the story of the time between, the WoB Jihad? Aside from that one reference manual for the TT game?

Not that I am aware up. After End Game it was all Dark Ages I believe. There could be some stuff that isn't cannon associated with the FanPro era?

Jihad+Dark Ages worst decisions for the BT universe ever IMO. The Jihad was just silly.

They were worse in the beginning - but Catalyst did make the impossible - and currently both "settings" are really good if you are able to loose your prejudice.

Its only a E-Book - but one of the "very" best novels in the whole BattleTech setting can be found in the Jihad Setting:
"Isle of the Blessed" - the fight for New Avalon (without stupid Victor Noriss stuff)
Including the ONE and ONLY DAVION that show the ideals of a real leader.
Not like the generic ChuckNoris Clones called Davion

There are also a couple of short storys that "knot loose" ends:
What happens with Aris Sung; how the Dragoons meet their end; how Stacy Church get into the cockpit of a Zeus; why there was no ComStar left when the Coalition started operation SCOUR.

The Jihad HotSpots is also a great source of information

there have been some jihad short stories released in the battlecorps anthologies. At least I have read a couple in the counterattack one. Still need to pick up the rest of those myself.
