From the moment Decision at Thunder Rift published in 1986, novels have consistently proven the best way to convey the fantastic stories that have kept fans coming back to the BattleTech/MechWarrior universe for three decades. What's more a host of players across the years have found the joy that comes from reading a gripping story they can then attempt to re-create on their own gaming table, or re-experience through one of the dozen of computer games touching on many of those same epic stories. A host of amazing authors have brought more than a hundred novels to publication, covering every era of BattleTech.
While new, original fiction is now publishing in electronic format (see Blitzkrieg), the entire back catalog of print classic BattleTech novels is making its way to epublication. A half a dozen are available, with more on the way!
Chronological Order by Era
The fiction epubs on this page are presented in chronological order. The image links for all epubs at the start of the page are also divided by Era to further aid in navigation.
Epub Fiction List
For a different way to search for the epub fiction you're looking for, check out this list.
Which E-reader?
All sales through either BattleShop or DriveThruRPG of fiction epubs are a zip file containing both .epub and .mobi files, so you can read your favorite BattleTech fiction on any ereader.
Amazon, Barnes & Noble or Kobo
While each epub page below contains specific links to multiple e-pub venders, Amazon and Barnes and Noble also carries all the e-pubs found on this page.
What's Blitzkrieg?
Blitzkrieg are all new short novels opening the gates to tackling some of the biggest BattleTech stories yet to be explored in this fashion. For more details, see the BLITZKRIEG: What's It All About? blog post.
Another great source for fiction is BattleCorps, the only online official short fiction publication for BattleTech. With over a million words of fiction available, this fiction subscription website contains a legion of stories across every faction and Era. Some of the fiction from that website is available as E-pubs below.
Out-of-Print Vs. E-pub
While the Fiction page contains those books currently available in-print, this page contains epubs of both brand new fiction only available in electronic format, as well as novels whose print books are long out-of-print.
Unlike older sourcebooks/rulebooks that are out-of-print in book format, since fiction is rarely superseded by new works (unlike said sourcebooks/rulebooks), the epubs of those novels are found here as opposed to the Out-Of-Print section.

Operation: Ice Storm: Part One, The Frost Advances (Blitzkrieg)
It is 3071, and holy Jihad rages in the Inner Sphere. Safe on worlds claimed two decades earlier, Clan Jade Falcon watches its enemies tear themselves apart. But a new threat is bearing down on the Falcons. Clan Ice Hellion, another of Kerensky's Clans, has traveled the winding Exodus Road to attack its warrior brethren–for while the Clans hunger to conquer the Inner Sphere, they are warriors–and they have little qualm warring amongst themselves for advantage.
Khan Connor Rood of the Ice Hellions knows his Clan is taking a desperate risk. Victory over the Jade Falcons will give the Hellions a place in the Inner Sphere, new worlds to conquer and exploit. It will place them among those rarified Clans who are not trapped in the distant Clan homeworlds. It is a bold plan.
It could easily fail.
For the Jade Falcons have been warned of the Ice Hellions' approach, and powerful and veteran Jade Falcon BattleMechs are turning to meet them. Can Rood and his Hellions defeat the forewarned Falcons? With Jihad raging in front of them and genocidal wars of reaving consuming the Clan homeworlds behind them, can the Hellions survive?

Ghost Bear's Lament: Part Two (Blitzkrieg)
A ruthless predator is stalking Star Colonel Richard Bekker of Clan Ghost Bear—time. Once he was a rising star, the hero of the Damian disaster. But all that ended on the world of Tukayyid where Bekker's bright future—and the entire Clan invasion of the Inner Sphere—were stopped cold.
Two decades later, Bekker is a warrior with an undistinguished history that hides a shameful secret. Even worse, in a culture that prizes youth, he is old, old enough to be relieved of duty. And when Clan warriors are relieved they don't retire—they're turned into cannon fodder.
Then Bekker is challenged to a Trial of Possession by the head of a new bandit kingdom, a man who seems little better than the terrorists Bekker is tasked to hunt.
A man named Devlin Stone.
And maybe, just maybe, the Trial will offer him a chance to win the greatest prize imaginable—a new place in the universe.

Sporadic Clan incursions into Inner Sphere territory supply mercenaries like the Kell Hounds with more work than they can handle... border raids sharply divide the Federated Commonwealth's political factions, bringing further instability to the realm standing between Clan's goals and anarchy.
And while secret ambitions drive plans to rip the Commonwealth apart, Khan Phelan Ward and Prince Victor Davion—cousins, rulers, and enemies—must decide if maintaining the peace justifies the actions they will take to preserve it.

It's a dangerous world out there. You never know who you might offend.
Don't like spiders? Better keep it to yourself. Mention the word "icky" and you might have the Arachnid Club of America on your case.
When you get into religion or ethnicity, though, you're wading into even deeper waters. Just ask Mike Smith, the former BYU player and current Los Angeles Clippers TV analyst. Earlier this season, he and co-host Ralph Lawler were discussing the Memphis Grizzlies' Hamed Haddadi.
Where's he from?" said Lawler.
"He's the first Iranian to play in the NBA," said Smith.
But Smith inadvertently pronounced Iranian as "Eye-ranian," prompting a viewer to complain to Fox Sports Prime Ticket.
The discussion had continued for a few seconds regarding Haddadi, but news reports claimed Smith's pronunciation was the impetus behind the complaint.
Apologies were quickly issued and Smith and Lawler were suspended for a game.
They can only hope nobody from Kyrgyzstan makes it in the league.
I bring this up because such concern for feelings doesn't seem to always apply. Saturday at San Diego State, BYU players and fans were exposed to a group of Aztec students, wearing missionary-like suits and white shirts, bicycle helmets and name tags. That's actually pretty funny. I say that on fairly good authority, considering I was once a missionary in San Diego and wore the same kind of suit.
And looked just as geeky.
But what wasn't funny was the part near the game's end when BYU fans chanted, "BYU Cougars!" and the hecklers responded with obscene gestures and taunts of "You're still Mormon!"
Sometimes there's a thin line whether it's BYU or the LDS Church that's being vilified, but either way, BYU is well acquainted with such treatment. I covered BYU games at Wyoming in the '80s when large portions of the crowd chanted, "(Expletive) you, BYU!"
It may not have been directed at Mormons, but for the players I talked to, it sure felt like it.
In 1995, when Roger Reid was coaching the Cougars, a Colorado State fan approached from several rows behind the BYU bench to scream obscenities and religious taunts at Reid. In that case, CSU did the right thing, removing the fan from the arena.
No such move was attempted by SDSU security on Saturday. The treatment was described by Sports Illustrated writer Seth Davis as a "Totally classless move by several dozen San Diego State students who dressed up as Mormon missionaries to mock BYU when the Cougars came to town on Saturday night. Riding the opposition is fine, but there are a few things that are off-limits, and religion is one of them."
True. I can't picture fans chanting, "You're still Muslim!" or "You're still Jewish!"
I've heard Utah, Utah State and even Utah Jazz players derisively called "Mormons" even when, in some cases, there wasn't a Latter-day Saint on the team.
When Dennis Rodman said during the 1997 NBA Finals that "it's difficult to get in sync because of all the (expletive) Mormons out here," a New York area writer told me that if the same had been said of Jews in New York, "you wouldn't believe the uproar it would have caused."
The offending group at SDSU certainly didn't speak for the entire crowd. But the fact it wasn't stopped is embarrassing for the university. SDSU should issue an apology, and a warning that such behavior won't be tolerated.
After all, the NBA fined Rodman $50,000 for his anti-LDS remarks.
Cougarboard.com posted an e-mail Tuesday, purportedly from Don Oberhelman, SDSU associate athletics director. In response to a BYU fan's complaint, the note said, in part, "As an employee of a public university, I'm sure you understand the student's rights of free speech and freedom of expression. I don't approve of, or condone their attire, but their costumes are a regular occurrence based on who we are playing. 98% of what they do at our games makes for a fantastic basketball atmosphere, the 2% like this makes me cringe."
Which is interesting, considering it wasn't the costume as much as the chanting and gesturing that was offensive.
BYU can expect to get heckled with a basketball team that is nationally ranked. Cougar sports teams have won more Mountain West Conference championships than any other. Nobody heckles BYU better than Utah State and Utah fans, many of whom are LDS themselves.
But razzing is one thing. Deliberately insulting a faith is something else.
It isn't just wrong and intolerable.
It's also icky.

The key to mold prevention is moisture control. If mold is a problem in your home, you should promptly clean the area and correct the water problem. It's important to dry water-damaged areas and items within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold growth.
Why is mold growing in my home?
Molds are part of the natural environment and serve a purpose outdoors. But inside, mold growth can be problematic. Mold reproduces indoors as mold spores land on wet surfaces. Of the many types of molds, none will grow without water or moisture.
Can mold cause health problems?
Molds have the potential to cause health problems. Molds produce allergens (substances that can cause allergic reactions), irritants, and in some cases, potentially toxic substances (mycotoxins). Allergic reactions to mold are common, and may include sneezing, runny nose, red eyes, and skin rash. For more detailed information, consult a physician.
How do I eliminate or prevent mold from growing indoors?
Mold spores will not grow without moisture. Indoor mold growth can be prevented or restricted by controlling moisture. Tips to help prevent and control moisture and mold:
- Clean up all water leaks or spills quickly. If wet or damp materials or areas are dried within 24 to 48 hours, it is less likely that mold will grow.
- Clean and repair roof gutters regularly.
- Check the building foundation: Do the surrounding grounds slope in a way that would prevent water from entering or collecting at the foundation?
- Keep air-conditioning drip pans clean and the drain lines unobstructed.
- Keep indoor humidity low. If you see condensation or moisture collecting on windows, walls or pipes dry the wet surface and reduce the moisture/water source. Condensation can be a sign of high humidity.
- Vent appliances that produce moisture. Appliances such as clothes dryers, stoves and kerosene heaters should be vented to the outside when possible.
- Use air conditioners and/or de-humidifiers when needed.
- Run the bathroom fan or open the window when showering. Use exhaust fans or open windows whenever cooking, running the dishwasher or dishwashing, etc.
- Increase ventilation or air movement by opening doors and/or windows, when practical. Use fans as needed.
- Cover cold surfaces such as cold water pipes with insulation.
- Increase the air temperature.

18 January 1815 A.D. Count Tischendorf Born—Codex Sinaiticus, a Manuscript in the Trash
Lobegott Friedrich Constantin (von) Tischendorf (January 18, 1815 – December 7, 1874) was a noted German Biblical scholar. He deciphered the Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus, a 5th-century Greek manuscript of the New Testament, in the 1840s, and rediscovered the Codex Sinaiticus, a 4th-century New Testament manuscript, in 1859.
Tischendorf exemplified the buccaneer image of 19th century archaeology in his pursuit of unknown manuscripts. Alongside his industry in collecting and collating manuscripts and notably one leaf of the Archimedes Palimpsest. Tischendorf pursued a constant course of editorial labours, mainly on the New Testament, until he was broken down by overwork in 1873.
Tischendorf was born in Lengenfeld, Saxony, near Plauen, the son of a physician. Beginning in 1834, he spent his scholarly career at the University of Leipzig where he was mainly influenced by JGB Winer, and he began to take special interest in New Testament criticism. Winer's influence gave him the desire to use the oldest manuscripts in order to compile the text of the New Testament as close to the original as possible.[1] In 1838 he took the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, then became master at a school near Leipzig.
After a journey through southern Germany and Switzerland, and a visit to Strassburg, he returned to Leipzig, and set to work upon a critical study of the New Testament text. In 1840 he qualified as university lecturer in theology with a dissertation on the recensions of the New Testament text — the main part of which reappeared the following year in the prolegomena to his first edition of the Greek New Testament. His critical apparatus included variant readings from earlier scholars — Elsevier, Georg Christian Knapp, Johann Martin Augustin Scholz, and as recent as Karl Lachmann — whereby his researches were emboldened to depart from the received text as used in churches.
These early textual studies convinced him of the absolute necessity of new and more exact collations of manuscripts. From October 1840 until January 1843 he was in Paris, busy with the treasures of the Bibliothèque Nationale, eking out his scanty means by making collations for other scholars, and producing for the publisher, Firmin Didot, several editions of the Greek New Testament — one of them exhibiting the form of the text corresponding most closely to the Vulgate. His second edition retracted the more precarious readings of the first, and included a statement of critical principles that is a landmark for evolving critical studies of Biblical texts.[2]
From Paris, he had paid short visits to the Netherlands (1841) and England (1842). In 1843 he visited Italy, and after a stay of thirteen months, went on to Egypt, Sinai, and the Levant, returning by Vienna and Munich. In 1844, he paid his first visit to the convent of Saint Catherine's Monastery, on Mount Sinai. Tischendorf reported in his 1865 book Wann Wurden Unsere Evangelen Verfasst, translated to English in 1866 as When Were Our Gospels Written in the section "The Discovery of the Sinaitic Manuscript" that he found, in a trash basket, forty-three sheets of parchment of an ancient copy of the Greek Old Testament, reporting that the monks were using the trash to start fires. And Tischendorf, horrified, asked if he could have them. He deposited them at the University of Leipzig, under the title of the Codex Friderico-Augustanus, a name given in honour of his patron, Frederick Augustus II of Saxony, king of Saxony. The fragments were published in 1846 although he kept the place of discovery a secret. Many have been skeptical of the historical accuracy of this report of saving a 1500-year old parchment from the flames. J. Rendel Harris referred to the story as a myth.[3]
A great triumph of these laborious months was the decipherment of the palimpsest Codex Ephraemi Syri Rescriptus, of which the New Testament part was printed before he left Paris, and the Old Testament in 1845. His success in dealing with a manuscript that, having been rewritten with other works of Ephrem the Syrian, had been mostly illegible to earlier collators, made him more well known, and gained support for more extended critical expeditions. He now became professor extraordinarius at Leipzig, and became married in 1845. He also began to publish Reise in den Orient, an account of his travels in the east (in 2 vols., 1845–46, translated as Travels in the East in 1847).
In the winter of 1849 the first edition of his great work now titled Novum Testamentum Graece. Ad antiquos testes recensuit. Apparatum criticum multis modis appeared (translated as Greek New Testament. The ancient witnesses reviewed. Preparations critical in many ways), containing canons of criticism, adding examples of their application that are applicable to students today:
Basic rule: "The text is only to be sought from ancient evidence, and especially from Greek manuscripts, but without neglecting the testimonies of versions and fathers."
These were partly the result of the tireless travels he had begun in 1839 in search of unread manuscripts of the New Testament, "to clear up in this way," he wrote, "the history of the sacred text, and to recover if possible the genuine apostolic text which is the foundation of our faith."
In 1850 appeared his edition of the Codex Amiatinus (in 1854 corrected)[4] and of the Septuagint version of the Old Testament (7th ed., 1887); in 1852, amongst other works, his edition of the Codex Claromontanus.
In 1853, he made a second trip to the Syrian monastery but made no new discoveries. He returned a third time in January 1859 under the patronage of Czar Alexander II of Russia to find more of the Codex Frederico-Augustanus or similar ancient Biblical texts. On February 4, the last day of his visit, he was shown a text which he recognized as significant — the Codex Sinaiticus — a Greek manuscript of the complete New Testament and parts of the Old Testament dating to the 4th century.
In 1859 he made a third voyage to the East. There, with the active aid of the Russian government, he at length got access to the remainder of the precious Sinaitic codex, and persuaded the monks to present it to Tsar Alexander II of Russia, at whose cost it was published in 1862 (in four folio volumes). By those ignorant of the details of his discovery of the Codex Sinaiticus, Tischendorf was accused of buying manuscripts from ignorant monastery librarians at low prices. Indeed he was never rich, but he staunchly defended the rights of the monks at Saint Catherine's Monastery when he persuaded them eventually to send the manuscript to the Tsar. Even so, the monks of Mt. Sinai still display a letter from Tischendorf promising to return the manuscript to them. In 1869 the tsar awarded him the style of "von" Tischendorf as a Russian noble. Thus the Codex found its way to the Imperial Library at St. Petersburg. In 1933, the Soviet Government sold the Codex Sinaiticus for 100,000 pounds to the British Museum in London, England.
Meanwhile, also in 1859, he had been made professor ordinarius of theology and of Biblical paleography, this latter professorship being specially created for him; and another book of travel, Aus dem heiligen Lande, appeared in 1862. Tischendorf's Eastern journeys were rich enough in other discoveries to merit the highest praise.
Besides his fame as a scholar, he was a friend of both Robert Schumann, with whom he corresponded, and Felix Mendelssohn, who dedicated a song to him. His text critical colleague Samuel Prideaux Tregelles wrote warmly of their mutual interest in textual scholarship. His personal library, purchased after his death, eventually came to the University of Glasgow,[5] where a commemorative exhibition of books from his library was held in 1974.
He died in Leipzig.
His magnum opus was the "Critical Edition of the New Testament."
The great edition, of which the text and apparatus appeared in 1869 and 1872, was called by himself editio viii; but this number is raised to twenty or twenty-one, if mere reprints from stereotype plates and the minor editions of his great critical texts are included; posthumous prints bring the total to forty-one. Four main recensions of Tischendorf's text may be distinguished, dating respectively from his editions of 1841, 1849, 1859 (ed. vii), and 1869–72 (ed. viii). The edition of 1849 may be regarded as historically the most important, from the mass of new critical material it used; that of 1859 is distinguished from Tischendorf's other editions by coming nearer to the received text; in the eighth edition, the testimony of the Sinaitic manuscript received great (probably too great) weight. The readings of the Vatican manuscript were given with more exactness and certainty than had been possible in the earlier editions, and the editor had also the advantage of using the published labours of his colleague and friend Samuel Prideaux Tregelles.
Of relatively lesser importance was Tischendorf's work on the Greek Old Testament. His edition of the Roman text, with the variants of the Alexandrian manuscript, the Codex Ephraemi, and the Friderico-Augustanus, was of service when it appeared in 1850, but, being stereotyped, was not greatly improved in subsequent issues. Its imperfections, even within the limited field it covers, may be judged by the aid of Eberhard Nestle's appendix to the 6th issue (1880).
Besides this may be mentioned editions of the New Testament apocrypha, De Evangeliorum apocryphorum origine et usu (1851); Acta Apostolorum apocrypha (1851); Evangelia apocrypha (1853; 2nd ed., 1876); Apocalypses apocryphae (1866), and various minor writings, partly of an apologetic character, such as Wann wurden unsere Evangelien verfasst? (When Were Our Gospels Written?; 1865; 4th ed., 1866, digitized by Google and available for e-readers), Haben wir den echten Schrifttext der Evangelisten und Apostel? (1873), and Synopsis evangelica (7th ed., 1898).

Our Firstborn Turns 3
Has it really been three years since the day we welcomed our toddler into this world?
I've been looking through photos all morning of his sweet face. It's changed so much throughout the years. He's gone from a little baby to a sweet young boy.
Although there are moments I sit back and question whether or not I'm doing a good job as his mother, I have to smile because I've been able to be with him every step of the way.
He's Not A Baby Anymore
Our toddler has turned into a threenager in the last couple of months. He's always been strong-willed, but now it's really starting to show. We've always told him that if he wants something, he should go and get it. Go after it, so to speak.
But he has taken it literally these days.
There are still tantrums here and there, but he has learned to control himself. I love his independence and always encourage him to try his best no matter what.
Sebastian has always been a great kid, and I admire his courage whenever he has to try something new. He's practically fearless and loves to tempt the waters from time to time. Although he continues to be shy around others, he warms up pretty quickly and doesn't care much for small talk.
It's going to take some time for me to get used to the fact that it's already been three years. Time flies, we just have to continue to enjoy every moment. Even the tantrums.

I'm kind of spamming with home and decor posts lately but cool stuff keeps getting released and I'm trying to keep up.I' ve always found HANDverk's mesh work impressive and their new skybox build is no exception. It's called "Longchamps skybox" and it's spacey, mesh and perfect for an elegant/vintage kind of place. It comes in two versions, single and double, with double being more spacey. Grab the taxi below to check it out!

With all these exciting new makeup and fashion looks hitting the runways this year, do they really expect us to wait till fall? Check out what we're loving and working into our beauty routine asap.
The 360-degree smoky eye. Since we first told you we're obsessed with the look, we've tried it using a variety of colorways from mauve to blue to brown. Our favorite takes on the runway were from Alexander Wang and Bibhu Mohapatra.
The reinvented bang. They came in all shapes and sizes this season and were paired with tresses of all lengths. Don't have patience for the trend? Try some clip-ons instead.
Glitterati. At HB HQ, we love all things radiant. This year, glow turned to glitter on several runways. Our fave? Opening Ceremony's silver and gold sculpted cheekbones and flashy lids and lips. Even earlobes got the sparkly tatted effect. Burberry's multi-colored glittered shadow played up the outer corners of eyes, a trend we're definitely on board with.
Red-black lips. The new red lip for fall looks like crimson with undertones of black or in some cases, black with a barely there nod to red. Some shows took inspo from Rihanna and served up their black pouts with a touch of plum. What can we say? We love the drama.
Heavy metals. You can always expect a little industrial influence in the fall. This season's take is inspired by earth tones and gemstones. Think coppers, figs, golds and silvers. We're obsessed with Burberry, BCBG, Carmen Marc Valvo and Marissa Webb.
Patterned lids. Chanel and Tommy Hilfiger were up to their eyeshadows in style. They brought a square, almost houndstooth graphical element to the lids. While it might be challenging to recreate, we're thinking its going to have to make the rounds at least once during holiday party season.
Messy braids. Anytime we can get away with an undone hair look that's sexy, sign up us. The runway proved that the look is both hotter than ever and not just for summer anymore. We obsessed with the versions seen on Herve Leger, Roland Mouret and Kye.

ARLINGTON, Va.--Capterra, an online service that helps businesses find the right software, today published a new infographic detailing the Top 20 Most Popular Email Marketing Software Solutions. This study is the first of its kind in a series of Top 20 rankings, and Capterra's first infographic in the email marketing space. MailChimp, Constant Contact, and Vertical Response take the first 3 spots.
This research is based on Capterra's popularity index, which combines number of customers, number of users, and social presence to measure popularity. The index has been used to rank more than 20 industries to date, most recently Fleet Management, Salon Management, and Business Intelligence.
Email marketing software allows companies and marketers to automate nearly all of their email campaigns. With newsletter and template design, contact management, and engagement reporting, this software is designed to help companies reach their target customers efficiently and successfully.
"Email is only a few decades old, yet has become a communication standard. More than half of U.S. internet users check their email more than once per day. As a result, it has been identified as an effective, budget-friendly way for businesses to directly connect with their customer base," said Capterra President and CEO, Michael Ortner.
"Email marketing software is a must-have for any small business looking to grow. With this new research, small-business owners--and marketers at companies of any size—are able to get a quick grasp of the most popular solutions that are out there."

An important objective of the Illinois SPDG is to increase the active involvement and engagement of parents in their children's educational process, especially with regard to classroom instruction; student progress; and any academic, social/emotional, and/or behavioral interventions that a student may need. Within each of the districts and schools participating in the Illinois RtI Network, it is expected that parents will be key members of educational teams.
Research shows that when parents and family members are involved in a child's education, the outcomes are positive: higher test scores, increased attendance, better behavior and social skills, higher rate of graduation, and increased drive to pursue post-secondary education.
