I've noticed that the second Battletech novel, The Sword and the Dagger, by Ardath Mayhar is not listed at the end of Forever Faithful or the newly released Kell Hounds Trilogy books. I know that this title has never been reprinted (ROC Books), so is this an oversight, intentional or are there other factors preventing this from being included?

To all citizens of the Inner Sphere do I send greetings.
Know that I have taken the remnant of the Star League Defense Force which has remained true to its purpose beyond the boundaries of the Inner Sphere, beyond the Periphery. I have done this, not out of spite or disdain, as some will say. No, we have left the Inner Sphere because we love it too much to see it destroyed. In the wake of the Usurper's coup and the bitter fighting, I fear the incalculable, possibly irreparable, harm to our society. We are sworn to ward the Star League.
Thus, we have left beyond the reach of those who would use it, not for defense, but for conquest. Perhaps, the leaders who now grapple with one another will relinquish their dreams of subjugating their neighbors and learn to live in peace with them.
Perhaps, one day, should mankind step back from the brink of the abyss, we, our children, or our children's children will return, to once more serve and protect and guide the Star League in mankind's quest for the stars.
Farewell.
