BattleTech: Shrapnel, Year Two:
ONCE MORE UNTO THE BREACH!
Continuing to hoist the battle standard for BattleTech short fiction, the second year of Shrapnel: The Official BattleTech Magazine maintains the tradition of explosive, hard-hitting stories set in the war-torn, BattleMech-dominated interstellar future of the 31st century. In this collection of issues #5–8, you’ll witness the fateful duel between bitter mercenary rivals Jamie Wolf and Wayne Waco, learn how (in)famous commander Ace Darwin acquired his iconic pink Panther, protect the next generation of Wolf-in-Exile warriors during a vicious Jade Falcon attack on Arc-Royal, and hunt down the murderous pirate “Lady Death” Trevaline on Tortuga Prime.
Then go beyond the story and arm yourself with technical readouts, unit and planet digests, playable scenarios, role-playing adventures, weapons catalogs, social commentaries, and much, much more!
This collection also includes the entire four-part serial novel, Vengeance Games, by fan-favorite BattleTech author Craig A. Reed, Jr.
Power up your reactor, keep an eye on your sensors, and wade back into the battle, with more pulse-pounding stories and powerful game features penned by BattleTech legends and the latest rising stars.

BattleTech: Shrapnel, Year Two ( The Official battle tech Magazine )
Again, rereading all the stories from year two, it gives me chills. I have been reading and playing BattleTech/mechwarrior and reading everything I could, as well as collecting, teaching my kids and friends, ahh, the good old days.
I guess really old for some of us. But I find I still like reading everything I can for this genre.
Thanks to all the authors and writers and writers making all this happen!
