Hey Folks, just a note whilst scanning the below page

http://bg.battletech...oming-releases/

Looks like 3 or so new novels are going to be released sometime soon. 1 brand new one and looks like a couple that have been previously started might be fully written.

Here's hoping they arrive in the next couple of months

Lol, I jsut stumbled on that today too looking for examples to post in that Mackie thread...

[El Bandito]

Shadows of Faith, by Loren L. Coleman--I'm going to read it so hard, my wife will think I have become catatonic.
Don't like the whole Jihad thing, but it is the continuation of Endgame.

Case White, by Victor Milan--This novel is written by an author I do not recognize, but I know the story behind Case White. Since it will not end well, I do not know if I want to read it.

Victor Milan most notably wrote the Camacho's Caballeros stories.

Eh, I didn't like those, except Uncle Chandy was a good character. I could give this one a try though.

Did anyone notice the Warhammer miniature render that was posted? I'm psyched about the new novels, but take a look at the miniature render. Imagine (since we can ONLY imagine) the possibilities!

U wat? Victor Milán is the gold standard in this line. Trust me …

[Rorik Thrumsalr]

Sweet! I'm looking forward to some new lit.

[xX PUG Xx]

Aye I'm looking forward to these, especially Shadows of Faith. I always felt it deserved a bit "more" (but then again I love the IP and would read "more" of any of the storylines )

[capt hungry]

Victor Milan wrote Close Quarters, Black Dragon and Hearts of Chaos - all very good books in the BT series. They're specifically about Camacho's Caballeros and feature a scout as one of the main characters. I enjoyed all three books.

Release date?

[NitroBurst]

Dangit! I want release dates already!!!

[Crashburn]

New Battletech novels???? You mean the 8+ year drought is near an end! Hallelujah!

[Luca M Pryde]

I would be happier with novels relating to current timeline than with novels rehashing old content.
