Apparently, a facebook group called Battletech International has done up a book on the history of the unseens, showing their original art for the images, etc.
I've tried to find it, but because I don't want to join the group on my wife's account all I get is the 'Join the Group' public face. Does anybody have this book, Unseens? Is anybody already a member of the Group, or wants to join the Group, and can you tell me about the book? Thanks!
It's the Beta release of "Unseen: A History of FASA, Battledroids and BattleTech." It is not intended for general distribution at this time. The author was looking for feedback. It's by the same person that wrote the Chronicles of the 69th Virginia Expeditionary Force and TRO: 3028. >:D
