Best Battletech books? (lemmy.world)

I’m relatively familiar with the setting, but I’ve never actually sat down and read any of the books.

I’d prefer something either in the Succession Wars or the Clan Invasion eras.

I see what you mean. On paper this kind of works as a rumor that exists in-universe, but I wouldn't want to actually witness it happening as an objective observer in a book.

Like I said, the books are great and I genuinely believe that they are the best starting point. They give you a LOT of personality to the parents of the main players throughout most of the clan invasion arc. When you get to that bit just mentally file it away as "didnt really happen" and keep going.

Some of my favorite BT moments are from those 3 books.
