I saw a TRO:Clan Invasion in the wild. It was at a FLGS that normally dont carry Battletech. That is a good thing.

I'm hoping TRO: Golden Century eventually comes out. I need it for my fan fic.  I know they said it was being worked on last month... but I just have to poke the bear.   >:D

Do we have any news on a Map Pack: Grasslands reprint?  I gave my copy to a local player making 3D terrain to match the maps and would like to get another.

Kansas City players, or people who are just passing through the area, come join us at the Geekery just off Shawnee Mission Parkway for BattleTech!  Current days are Tuesdays in the afternoon and evening.  I can't make every single week, but odds are pretty good that somebody will be there.

I do not know how to distinguish POD from normal novels, but it offers a paperback and gives dimensions.  I already DL'd my Kindle copy, I will get into it during my lunch break!

Just had my local book store order it for me (Redemption Rift) and I should have it by this time next week.  I know I can get it quicker through Amazon, but I like giving my local bookstore the business, since they have treated me well and were able to find after an almost 15 year wait a copy of The Sword and the Dagger.

there isn't a definitive marker for PoD but there are some clues like being sold via Amazon Prime (at least in the states) at the MSRP of $12.95 or $13.95. I can say that at least with my copies, every CGL-produced novel has been PoD except Embers of War

I had ordered some history books a couple weeks ago directly from Amazon and didn't know they were PoD until they arrived at my house.

Now Available in eBook and Print on Demand - Redemption Rift by Jason Schmetzer



eBook: https://books2read.com/BattleTechRedemptionRift

Print on Demand: https://tinyurl.com/BattleTechRedemptionRift

(Please note: Amazon usually combines the POD listing and the Kindle (ebook) listing after a day or two. As of this writing, that has not occurred yet. I will update the links if necessary when it does, please bear with me if there is a brief period when the links do not work.)

ON THE HUNT AGAIN…

It is the Dark Age—3139—and the famed mercenary regiments of Wolf's Dragoons have returned to the employ of House Kurita after a century of bitter enmity. Somehow, mercenaries and Kuritans must find a way to work together in a combined invasion of the Dragon’s oldest enemy, House Davion.

Thrust into the middle of this new conflict, Colonel Henry Kincaid is surprised by the commonalities—duty, honor, expediency—the Wolves and Combine forces share.

But as the Wolves’ lightning tactics and unstoppable drive brings world after Davion world under the Dragon’s banner, old hatreds arise anew, and with them come insidious plots engineered to cause the mercenaries’ downfall.

Throughout the campaign, Colonel Kincaid struggles to rectify what he thought he had always known about the Kuritans with the truth he discovers while actually working with them. But when his forces are trapped on a Davion world with no way to escape and the regiments of House Davion closing in, can he pull another bit of genius from his hat, or will the battalions of Wolf’s Dragoons be destroyed?

Sorry, just surprised to get a notice from a company and spot it before you mentioned it.  I buy most books now for Kindle, and I knew there were supposed to be some tells on POD, but I could not see anything one way or the other.  Seeing it was a great surprise . . .

But while you are at it . . . Founding of the Clans 1, meant to be out by end of KS campaign?

Ah, it's okay - I'm just slammed on trying to push a few other projects out the door. Don't mind me, sorry for being testy.

As I wrote in my post, at some point within the first few days both the ebook and the POD listing are live, Amazon gets around to merging them into one listing. That listing is what you're used to seeing, with the obvious buttons between Kindle/ebook and POD. In this time before that happens, it can seem weird and uncertain as to what you're buying, but the links I shared do work.

I am not sure about the status of Founding of the Clans I, I will ask but it may be a couple days before I get an answer.

we haven't had an RS volume in years so i don't see how the KS would suddenly be slowing that process down
