Yeah - Don't ask, its not coming soon. The rights and publications are tied up, and according to some of the last of Herb's live interviews with the fan base, Catalyst just doesn't know when its going to happen.
<Chunga>: I'll apologize in advance if this has been asked already, but what is the status of the novel line? They've not been mentioned in many months anymore. Were they cancelled or hung up with the troubles last year?
<Habeas2>: Chunga - While we still have no news to report on the novels front, CGL remains committed to getting BattleTech novels back into print in the future. Unfirtunately, there's a few hurdles we have to get by in order to make it happen.
<skumm>: is there any way ot reserve a box set for say origins? Been intending to get one there anyway
<Habeas2>: Skumm - I am afraid box sets at the cons are strictl first come-first served. Fast sellers tend to get rationed to ensure the company has product to show for the entire con.
<skumm>: are the dark age novels considered canon Herb?
<Habeas2>: Skumm - Yes
<Habeas2>: Some details may not be accurate, due to in-character biases and perceptions, but they are canon
<xtrahmxwohld>: will there be more new novels in ePub format pending getting them in print?
<Habeas2>: Xtrahmxwohld - It is quite possible. We are exploring other fiction avenues, but I can't get into specifics right now
<xtrahmxwohld>: are there any novels actively being worked on in hopes of getting them out?
<Habeas2>: Xtrahmxwohld - As long as the status of novels lies in limbo we really can't, in good conscience, hire novelists to write anything. There are, however, outlines of several books prepared to cover the major story arcs coming up.
