I just finished Legend of the Jade Phoenix series and I'm wanting to follow up on it, does anyone know which book has Diana get her name, if any? is it I am Jade Falcon?

You can find it in the novel Falcon Rising by Robert Thurston.

Do you know which novels prior to it I should read after the Legend of the Jade Phoenix series?

Of course, you can find something about the Jade Falcons in many novels, but considering what books would be probably interesting for you ...

I would recommend:

• Thurston, Robert: I am Jade Falcon
  
• Thurston, Robert: Freebirth

By they way, have you not been using a different pseudonym until recently?

Yes I recently changed. Mainly because the mechs I enjoy playing in game are all Jade Falcon favoured.

Let me guess: Uller, Loki, Thor?

I've mostly been playing Summoner, Night Gyr and Black Lanner with occasional Hellbringer, although I swapped from Black Lanner to Shadowcat recently because it does exactly the same thing except it can jump, has smaller profile and better weapon loadout. I think I am just better with more nimble mechs and I occasionally have good streaks with Night Gyr but think I've been playing to aggressive with it recently and not been doing well.

You can try the Cougar. Produced by the Jade Falcons.

Well, these Clan light 'Mechs such as the Puma or the Cougar play more like medium 'Mechs. They require some tactics.

I mean, they can not use their mobility as their shield, such as the Koshi does.

However, they can pack some serious firepower for their size.

I'm at 68 SPs so far but this is perhaps my best game so far, although there was an awful low of 200 damage games in the early stages.

Should I read Bred for War before I am Jade Falcon? I went to get it on Amazon kindle but it's not available to purchase yet but I've been told elsewhere it might be good to read it first.

Well, the book has some Jade Falcon bits in it, but is not focused on the Jade Falcons the way some other novels are. If you wish to wait to read it, all right.
