Germany is of particular note because several BattleTech novels were written and published in German exclusively, starting when FanPro (licensee for the German edition of BattleTech since 1988) acquired the full Classic BattleTech license in 2001. Old novels, long out of print, as well as novels and novellas from the BattleCorps era that were only published in digital form, and entirely new fiction are now available in PoD format.īattleTech books have been translated into (at least) fifteen languages. Since 2018, CGL have increasingly offered BattleTech fiction in a print-on-demand (PoD) format, blurring the line between electronic and print publishing.

After having acquired the full BattleTech license in 2007, IMR's Catalyst Game Labs imprint published print anthologies consisting mostly of stories previously published on BattleCorps, but their effort to publish full novels in print again was delayed for several years by unspecified issues until Embers of War was finally published in 2015. The last print novel published by Roc Books in this line was the 2008 To Ride the Chimera.įrom 2004 to 2016, InMediaRes published new BattleTech fiction online through (primarily) BattleCorps, a subscription based website. The classic BattleTech setting was suspended, and a new novel line was launched to go with the new ' MechWarrior: Dark Age' game and storyline (set roughly a century in the future from the original novels).

The 'MechWarrior' moniker apparently refers to the MechWarrior RPG series for BattleTech (not to be confused with the later MechWarrior: Dark Age setting, which had its own novel line see below).Īlthough further books were already in the works, Roc Books voiced no interest in publishing new 'BattleTech' or 'MechWarrior' novels after Endgame in 2002. They are related only by theme, not by plot or character. Besides 'BattleTech' novels that drove the overall storyline ahead, they would also launch the 'MechWarrior' spin-off novel series in 1999 that focused more on individual characters or units instead of advancing the metaplot. In 1991, Roc Books took over the ongoing novel line. To flesh out the BattleTech universe setting and advance its timeline, FASA began publishing BattleTech novels (and other fiction formats) in 1986.
