And business is good in the 31st century as the Third Succession War rages on battlefields ruled by the almighty BattleMech: ten-meter-tall humanoid machines of pure destruction. Continuous warfare between the five Great Houses of the Inner Sphere has led to a steep technological decline, forcing the nobility of these vast interstellar empires to rely on mercenaries to augment their standing armies and gain crucial advantages against their enemies. However, that House nobleman may be paying your unit's bills one day, but sending you straight into a trap tomorrow. BattleMechs may be the kings of the battlefield, but money, power, and machinations are just as important in victory as an autocannon barrage.
This anthology of hard-hitting BattleTech action includes six short stories that demonstrate how Machiavellian nobles, greedy pirates, and desperate mercenary units can change the course of Inner Sphere history. Take up the cause and charge your way through war-torn tales by veteran BattleTech authors such as Chris Hussey, Philip A. Lee, and Craig A. Reed, Jr.

HITTING THE BIG TIME. . .
Katie Ferraro's scrappy unit, the Fox Patrol, has finally made it. . . sort of. As part of a co-op mercenary unit called The Lone Wolves, they find themselves in the Hinterlands, hiring out to the Alyina Mercantile League former Jade Falcon Merchants who have split from the Clan to strike out on their own.
Suffering from the culture shock of being in Clan space and working with seasoned professionals, the tightly-knit family of the Fox Patrol has a lot to learn about working as part of a larger group. . . and with each other, as Katie learns to her chagrin. Making matters worse, Arkee Colorado and Evan Huxley, the two longest serving members, find that their relationship may not be as strong as they thought as jealousy threatens to tear them apart.
Also included in this collection are two bonus stories! "Merry Foxmas" tells the story of Katie Ferraro trying to get the unit presents for the holiday and anything that can go wrong does. And "Jade Foxes," a brand-new story documenting the Fox Patrol's exploits during the Battle of Sudeten.
