![]() ![]() 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.
