Seriously, not to give into counter-hate, but Dark Age is not that bad and some of the novels were decent or *GASP* good. Ever try reading any of them or are we just jumping on the "Anything past 3067 is crap" band wagon? Also I hate to break it to you, if it hasn't been already, that book is canon. Directly from Sarna.net.
"Regarding the question of what is canon within the BattleTech universe, Herbert A. Beas II, the current Line Developer, provided the following official answer on the CBT Forum:
"Whatever we establish for research material for the authors is canon.Currently, that list includes:
- All sourcebooks and novels produced for Classic BattleTech by FanPro and Roc in the United States"

I have to agree with Evinthal about Dark Age.
It is not a bad series once you read past the first five books, and some of them are as dry as a desert to read (particularly anything by Michael Stackpole is a major yawn) but it is not as good as the original BattleTech series, I have to say.

We all have our own favorite eras, but I am a little tiered of the grognard-ness. Personally I didn't like The Mech Assault games (MA2's man-spider-mech-baby to be specific, Mech Assault was eh, okay), but that is because I like simulation games over the arcade.
Hell I play (as in STILL play) the Dark Age-Age of Destruction clicky tech game with a few friends on weekends because it faster than CBT and we like the more combine arms approach that it embraced. (Alright, now I know I will catch an Arrow IV strike for that.) And I'd play CBT with the people around here that play it if I didn't have to work at 3 am the following morning
