Man, you got me excited. Fair warning, this bundle is pretty much just Dark Age novels and a bunch of new novels. If you're looking for affordable digital downloads of any of the classics none of them are included.

Actually they are included in the top bundle. The first 70 items that make up the lower bundles are mostly newer novels, however the top bundle adds a 71st item which consists of 60 of the older Battletech novels that were part of the summer 2023 Battletech Humble Bundle.

IIRC I've only read one Battletech book, back in the late 1990's.

So I just checked on Wikipedia, to see how many have been written... Posted Image That's a lot of books, I had no idea.

I was confused, I thought these were physical books, these are all e-books! :facepalm:

5 are shrapnel magazines, so that's ~65 books, plus 60 classics, = 125 books? Not bad for $30.

That would be a battletech book every month for 10 years. Posted Image

There are 381 star wars novels, for reference. And 30 World of Warcraft novels (which hasn't been around nearly as long).

Sorry, I should have specified in my post that they were e-books. Sometimes for the RPGs, like Pathfinder, they will also have physical books, which I prefer.

Thanks for noting that, I don't know why they thought it was a good idea to hide most of the important titles inside a concealed dropdown...
