[jrvk777]

Was there a specific update as to when this will be delivered?   

Thanks in advance! 

[Aresneo]

There have been no details on when it will be coming or even if the writing on it has started.

[Doc Swift]

It was mentioned briefly in one of the Adepticon livestreams.

Thank you. :)

[Swankmotron]

I'm excited about this tome. For... uh.... reasons.

Hmmm. Katie Ferraro and the Bounty Hunter have never been seen in the same room at same time...

That is definitely a true fact.

[nckestrel]

That is definitely a true fact.

Ok BT fans, I expect a list of confirmed characters that Katie has been in the room with, and therefore are confirmed to not be the Bounty Hunter.
And the list of who that leaves as possible suspects? :)

[williegagnier]

Yeah! That's very wonderful candy clicker

Sorry, I may be clueless on this.. Is this based on any fiction that is currently available? Links would be great! Thanks!

Katie Ferraro is the main character from the excellent Fox Patrol stories written by Byran Young aka Swankmotron here on the forums, the Fox Tales collected anthology is what your after: https://store.catalystgamelabs.com/products/battletech-fox-tales-the-collected-fox-patrol-stories-by-bryan-young

I took his comment to mean he possibly might have contributed a story to the Tales of the Bounty Hunter and was riffing on the Bounty Hunter's anonymity :)

Isn’t the Bounty Hunter more like the Dread Pirate Roberts from the Princess Bride, with the persona being passed from one person to another over the ages?

[Col Toda]

The Bounty  Hunter is an organization that puts  an Elite mech pilot that does Intel and wet work to the highest bidder . He is sort of an Evil Phantom / Ghost who walks character of the Battletech universe spanning Decades or even more than a century of Battletech history . When one is killed another takes his place . If you need intel and money is no object he is among the very best to get it . If you need a particular unit commander removed before  , during or after  an offensive he is the best out there .  He is infamous he killed Uncle Chande after he released a huge data dump on the Word of Blake presumably because he is an agent of chaos and  wasn't the sole source of near impossible to attain intelligence.

The Bounty Hunter - kind of like the Beekeeper 

[Col Toda]

No the beekeeper commits violence against elements that will disrupt societal order . The Bounty Hunter takes jobs that will promote disorder and Choas which in turn increases hob opportunities for him . The Bounty Hunter is Evil and crazy in nearly every written description.  He just hides the Crazy well. He a tool to get a job done . Most people  don't realize he is an agent of Chaos

Actually, my cousin's nephew's roommate told me Hanse Davion's Liao clone is definitely not related to Katie Ferraro and I should pay no attention to the name "Fox Patrol" as its totally not a play on her Not-grandfather's call sign.

Thanks very much! Ah, that's cool. Incidentally - I did get the Fox Tales collection as part of the Humble Bundle.

Until we were given a serial killer who took the armor & assets in a MWDA book.  Then we got the Kappa Bounty Hunter junk.

No the beekeeper commits violence against elements that will disrupt societal order . The Bounty Hunter takes jobs that will promote disorder and Choas which in turn increases hob opportunities for him . The Bounty Hunter is Evil and crazy in nearly every written description.  He just hides the Crazy well. He a tool to get a job done . Most people  don't realize he is an agent of Chaos

 . . . no, that is not of the portrayals before Kappa.  A bit amoral?  yes  Uses people to achieve objectives and maybe does not disclose all the risk?  yes

But the Bounty Hunter was never part of Bannson's Raiders, and to perform at the level the incarnations do they would have to function logically.
