ON THE FRONT LINES…

In the 32nd century, two things are a constant in the Inner Sphere: war, and the need to hire people to fight them. Mercenaries have been around nearly as long as organized warfare. Those skilled or lucky enough can make their fortune…and all they have to do is survive to spend it…

This volume contains two novellas in the BattleTech Fortunes of War series:

GIVING UP THE GHOST BY BRYAN YOUNG

Hank Mallory runs the Wolfhounds, an elite, self-sufficient company of the fabled Kell Hounds mercenary unit. But when Callandre Kell gives the order for the Hounds to scatter in the wake of vicious attacks from the Jade Falcons, Mallory and his unit must transform into a brand-new unit or risk being hunted down and destroyed.

Naturally, they head to Galatea and do whatever it takes to transform into something new…no matter what unusual missions that may require…

BLOOD RAGE BY CRAIG A. REED, JR.

Three years after the massacre of their families on Bromhead, Hansen's Roughriders live to exact revenge against Taurian Concordant forces they can find. When the Second Taurian Lancers—the unit responsible for the massacre—lands on Midale, they run into Colonel Wolfgang Hansen and the entire Roughriders force—all out for blood.

Amid the savage fighting, a Federated Suns liaison officer uncovers evidence of a third party's involvement in the slaughter—and who may have been behind it. But will he be able to gather the necessary evidence—and eyewitnesses—before the rampaging Roughriders destroy everything in their path?

(NOTE: These are the same stories that were distributed to the BattleTech Mercenaries Kickstarter campaign. If you received this story through the campaign, you do not need to buy them here.)
