Is there a way to see what era a particular novel is in?

Legacy covers from the Grasshopper's creation when Star League Civil War broke out to the end of the Jihad where it was part of the Stone's Regiment liberating Terra.

Iron Dawn, the other book is during the late Dark Ages (when i can't say precisely), properly late 3140s-early 3150s.

The Lion’s share of the original novels occur in the Clan Invasion and Civil War eras.

The newer fiction is spread around. Embers of War is set in 3067 between the end of the FCCW and beginning of the Jihad. Betrayal of Ideals is during the founding of the clans era in the 29th century during the founding of the clans. Forever faithful is sort of a continuation / postscript of the Twilight of the Clans arc ca 3060

You can find a fairly comprehensive list of what fiction belongs where in the overall timeline here: https://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=25780.0

Thanks all, I'm more interested in the continuing story. :)

If it's even half as good as Forever Faithful, it will be well received. If it actually advances the timeline, a welcome bonus! The 3140s could certainly use more quality fiction for one of BT's most interesting eras IMHO.

Food is overrated. New fiction feeds the mind and soul.

It's post Dark Age, pre-iLClan, roughly 3149-3150

Mendrugo · « **Reply #559 on:** 16 April 2019, 21:47:57 »

The teaser for the sequel shows it will be post-ilClan, in 3155. Only Surrender Your Dreams has gone further, with scenes set in 3156.

Onion2112 · « **Reply #560 on:** 16 April 2019, 21:58:45 »

I took that to be a typo for 3150 since Iron Dawn finishes 8th April 3150 and the sequel is dated 11th April 3155.

Incidentally I noticed in the battletech novel list at the end of the book there’s a new entry “64. Redemption Rift by Jason Schmetzer” Can’t wait for this one to be released!

Sartris · « **Reply #561 on:** 21 April 2019, 16:53:56 »

My copy of iron dawn arrived today. It’s the same size as the other novels like forever faithful as opposed to the larger nellus academy incident

House Arano book comes out soon; still on track for 4/26 release?

Empyrus · « **Reply #563 on:** 23 April 2019, 12:41:55 »

Wonder about the Arano sourcebook as well. I am rather interested in it, especially since the next DLC for the game was announced (Urban Warfare, release date June 4), so it'd be a good time to replay the game soon.

A Catalyst release is never late; It is released exactly when it means to. ;)

Really want that House Arano book.
I don't know alot about them....but want to.

Liam's Ghost · « **Reply #566 on:** 23 April 2019, 18:10:01 »

So my great nephew's due date is the same as the release date for the House Arano book.

Clearly his house has been chosen for him.

Lorcan Nagle · « **Reply #567 on:** 25 April 2019, 04:11:00 »

My copy of Iron Dawn (and The Nellus Academy Incident, because I hadn't noticed it was out as a POD) arrived today. Shipping was much cheaper and faster when I realised that Amazon.co.uk also does POD - I defaulted to using the US site for Forever Faithful

New Release Date for House Arano: The Aurigan Coalition

Please see the message below from Ray Arrastia, BattleTech assistant line developer, regarding a new release date for House Arano: The Aurigan Coalition:

Quote

I would like apologize to the community and beg your patience a little further. We have to postpone the release of House Arano: The Aurigan Coalition until May 31. Key people involved have been tied up getting other projects across the finish line, and we still need a proper buffer before release to allow for testing of the POD system, as this is our first time using it for this type of product.

House Arano: The Aurigan Coaltion is now in editing, with design and layout already started. Turning Points: War of 3039 Vega will be released later today. Next week we’ll show you some previews, along with teasers for the upcoming Alpha Strike Commanders Edition.

Thank you for your patience and continued support.
