I was wondering if anyone has a list of Battletech/Mechwarrior novels, I need new reading material badly.

If possible, I would love them listed in the order they were released.

Thanks all.

Lorian, would you mind giving me that link as well if I PM. I have most of the books but I can't read them at work in their current format.

Thank you for the offer, but reading too much digital novel triggers migraines. I need a nice real paper book.

Also I love the link with the reading order, that was what I was hoping for. Now to hit up ebay and amazon.

i think i read six so far. 2 were found in a pile of free books and were just random, and i read the first 4 in chronological order. i need to steal back my e-reader that someone commandeered to use as an mp3 player. reading books off a computer screen sucks.

Do you have Shadows of War and Falcon Rising in ebooks? I have the paperback, but are missing those two in digital.

You can get real books off Amazon for pennies, you just need to pay shipping which is not very expensive considering size and weight of the books.

I am not a fan of e-books, I like physical copies but to each his own.

Im currently reading the BT books and loving them.

They are the reason I returned to MWO after being on a break.

When I reinstalled the game all I could think of was how good the books were and the glory and the honour of riding a battlemech into battle...

Then in my first match back I had one person on VoIP saying "whats up Doc" over and over again and another telling us how were were all a "bunch f..k..g morons"

Good old MWO
