Given that my knowledge of B-tech is practically nil, i have been wanting to get a book that would give me more insight into the history of it all. What better book to start on than the one which charts our own Unit's history.....now i just need to find a bookshop in Scotland that sells it.

Michael A Stockpool started the that series and un-fortunately put an end to it too. He talks mostly about politics and propaganda. Brandon Lee wrote a nice space battle with Clan Ghost Bear on their way through clan space. I liked it :smile: infact I thought the whole series was good reading from start to finish. Good Battling !

'Dagger Point' by Thomas Gressman is another novel that deals with the ELH. Not a great read but deals with the Regt post Huntress.

Besides Sword and Fire there is also Shadows of War,The Hunters and Dagger Point. The first 3 are from a series of books called The Twilight of the Clans try and get them all, its a great story and ELH is a central part of the plot(there are 7 books in all i think). Go to Amazon.com if you cant get them in a book store.Happy reading :smile:

Hehe, guess who has the highest offending rate for non-return of books, and what particular genre has the highest loss rate as well.
Forget the library.
I have bought almost the entire series on E-bay. Yes, I even paid $60 US for an unread copy of "The Sword and the Dagger". Keep watching, as there are plenty of near mint books out there still.

Can anyone recommend a good place to start from re: all these btech books.....i'm working on the assumption that there are loads of them, and therfore want to enter the storyline at a convenient point, and also which of the technical readout books would be a good one to get, to get some decent btech knowledge

I have a URL for a chronologcal listing for the novels.

Although not 100% accurate, it gets the job done. I originally read the "Blood of Kerensky" trilogy 1st, which is a help, as it sets the whole Clan/IS universe in perspective.
