Saga of the Seven Suns is worth an additional seven noes.
* No, FASA wasn't big on errata - ColBosch
* The Housebook series is from the 80's and is the foundation of Btech, the 80's heart wrapped in heavy metal that beats to this day - Sigma
* To sum it up: FASAnomics: By Cthulhu, for Cthulhu - Moonsword
* Because Battletech is a conspiracy by Habsburg & Bourbon pretenders - MadCapellan
* The Hellbringer is cool, either way. It's not cool because it's bad, it's cool because it's bad with balls - Nightsky
* It was a glorious time for people who felt that we didn't have enough Marauder variants - HABeas2, re "Empires Aflame"

Not that awful, but his writing was pretty formulaic and tended to have a lot of generic good vs evil themes, from what I can recall.  Really not a good fit for the Battletech universe.

Keep in mind that there are very few BT novels that this forum will agree on as good and those few are not aging like wine.

Until and unless a BattleTech product by that author is actually announced, please get back on topic, folks.

Same here, though the ad they had for it during the Tuesday Newsday steam was amusing. I expected "Jiyi Chistu" to have more syllables, instead of sounding like "geeeeeeeeestu". :)

Same here, but I'm wondering what's going on with Shadow of the Dragon?

Going through what is hopefully the final edit. Last I talked to Phil several hours ago, he was more than halfway through editing the novel. The book cover is done, as is the back copy cover. Assuming there's no hiccups, it should be out in two weeks, maybe?

I’m pumped for the Snow Raven novel. Other than a few Shrapnel stories (which admittedly are all great, especially Ascending the Pecking Order), this will be their first real showing in a novel, and I’m so hype for it. And the WoR novels, too.
