This is strictly for the people that have read the Classical Battle tech series. Which book is your favorite in the classical era?

I'm still primarily undecided, but right now the Blood of Kerensky Trilogy is ahead in points.

The blood of kerensky trilogy is far and away my favorite. There is another trilogy that is second in my book. I'll have to go look it up on my shelf to find the name though (I'll do that in a little bit)

That's the other series I was trying to remember! Warrior was a great series. I wish these were available on kindle or some other DD service. :)

They were until a couple of months ago. Catalyst seems to have had to take them down for some reason, though they said they're planning to put them back up once they resolve that.

Catalyst always looked shady to me. I guess I should give it a second go round.

Legend of the Jade Phoenix from Battletech. I really liked Initiation to War in the Mechwarrior line but its hard to choose there are so many.

Prince of Havoc was a fun read, I may be something of a freak for it but I really liked Main Event and DRT too, was cool to see how one of the little guys gets along every now and then.

This was a great series! I think I had a tear when Aidan died.

I'd have to go with Michael Stackpole's Blood of Kerensky series first, and then any other Stackpole Battletech books.
