Now Available - BattleCorps Anthology Vol. 7: Kill Zone



REDEMPTION. RESISTANCE. RESOLVE.

A young Davion MechWarrior seeks to repay a debt incurred by the misfortunes of the Fourth Succession War. A tightly-knit farming community bands together to repel vicious pirates or risk losing their livelihoods…and their lives. A Kurita MechWarrior given a final chance to serve the Dragon stands alone against renegade mercenaries. And the survivors of a crash-landed Steiner command must hold the line against ravenous Word of Blake forces to protect the Allied Coalition’s quest to wrest Terra from the Blakists’ unyielding grip.

Kill Zone: BattleCorps Anthology, Volume 7 collects the very best of the short stories published on the BattleCorps website from 2010. Charge into the war-torn future to experience nine stories filled with BattleMech combat, heroism, betrayal, honor, and duty.

Veteran BattleTech authors Kevin Killiany, Blaine Lee Pardoe, and Jason Schmetzer, alongside fan favorites Craig A. Reed, Jr. and Jason Hansa are showcased in this anthology, which includes an all-new tale from Scribe Award-nominated author Travis Heermann.

Hmm, that Uziel art gets different background . . . which is funny, b/c its either a RAC or LAC from a custom personal variant.  But IIRC the art existed way before the custom variant.

It's not new, it's just blue instead of the green it was on the Tac Ops cover.

Yeah, and my copy has the Origins sticker right over that Gladiator . . .

Where's Front Lines, the BattleCorps Volume 6 Anthology? I'm happy to have a new anthology, but shouldn't a digital copy of Volume 6 be made available as well?

Whoah, another day another book! The Kell Hounds Ascendant, previously released as a series of novellas, has been gathered together into one volume and is available as Print on Demand!!

"NEVER BET AGAINST THE KELL BROTHERS…The Kell Hounds are one of the most storied mercenary units in the Inner Sphere. Now, New York Times-bestselling author and Kell Hounds creator Michael A. Stackpole goes back to the Hounds’ beginnings in these three short novels, when Morgan and Patrick Kell were just two smart, ambitious brothers—with a plan to revolutionize the world of mercenaries forever… Not How the Smart Money Bets: Morgan and Patrick Kell land on the mercenary planet Galatea to start their new unit, the Kell Hounds. But a few obstacles in their way, including the biggest one, a ruthless crime lord named Haskell Blizzard. But the Kell brothers have faced long odds before, and come out on top every single time. When the chips are down, the smart money is always on the brothers Kell. A Tiny Bit of Rebellion: Galatea’s capital city, Galaport, is threatened by a new enemy: Bishop Arlington Poore, a religious zealot who wants to bring the entire planet under his repressive theocracy—and is willing to starve millions to do it. The Kell Hounds now have their first job: put down this uprising, and fast. But when a madman has converted thousands of civilians to his side, how will Morgan and Patrick end his misguided crusade without shedding innocent blood? A Clever Bit of Fiction: When the Archon hires the Kell Hounds to provide security for war games with Prince Ian Davion’s forces in a show of combined strength between the Lyran Commonwealth and the Federated Suns, Morgan Kell thinks it’s a chance to relax while getting to know the mercurial leader of the Federated Suns. But when a powerful group of raiders lands on Zavijava, he finds himself facing two threats—stopping the invaders from wrecking the planet while protecting Prince Davion. Trouble is, before the fighting is over, Morgan may have to make a dangerous choice…with the possible fate of three Great Houses lying in the balance…"

good. i just can't do digital fiction... even on an e-reader

[Wrangler]

Friday for me to get these things.

[MrPopo]

Had to register to express my pleasure that the Kell Hounds Ascendant is getting POD and that you're working on Battlecorps Anthology 6.  I've got my fingers crossed that you're going to make A Bonfire of Worlds and the Founding of the Clans trilogy also available on POD.

[Sartris]

in the back of the free fiction, it shows bonfire with updated branding. they don't do that for no reason so here's hoping

Well, 3rd Founding was never written but with Kickstarter it is now supposed to be . . . and the 1st one will be released digitally by August, so it might be POD.  We have had a few products go that route with no indication if they felt it was successful or how long the trial period might be or what projects are candidates for that printing process.

*Throws all of the non-existent money at BattleTech things* Damn I hate being poor and then throwing more money at thing I love!

Thanks!

[Greatclub]

I got my hands on one.

[Sartris]

is the art on the spine slighty off or was this just mine?

Kind of want the new print TM, because i regard its cover as the single greatest piece of BT art. Color, feel, style.

[Bedwyr]

One local store I checked in on a few minutes ago had zero Catalyst stuff available across two distributors. Waiting on a second store to get back to me.

I got it from a FLGS here, so it must be listed in some distributor.

Luck of the draw on distributors I guess.

My FLGS has started ordering direct from IWM.  I think we are three orders in, and we have talked to them about the KS . . . apparently the owners are discussing getting involved, but they are not yet.

Which of the books have this spine? Techmanual, Total Warfare, and...?

[Sartris]

Just those two so far. Reprints of TO and SO are planned

[Greatclub]

Not ATOW? or is legends replacing it entirely?

Lifepath and point-based build systems meh. Won't be sad to see it go.

I haven't seen any change of plans regarding the rest of the books. I believe they intend to continue with the reprint styles past SO.

2 IWM orders so far, but they will take requests for the next order. I talked to them again Thursday about the KS and they are doing the kickstarter. I told them there are locals that will be interested in packs. They said they will put people on a list and wont charge them till later when they come in.
