STRONGER THAN STEEL...

In the samurai-steeped culture of the Draconis Combine, no concept holds more power and strength than honor. It can topple monarchs, defy warlords, even stop mighty BattleMechs in their tracks without firing a single shot. Be it in service of the Coordinator, the Combine itself, one's family, or even oneself, honor is an undeniable way of life for House Kurita's samurai, and woe betide any who earns the stain of dishonor, for only blood can atone...

Visit the glory days of the Star League, where a dedicated Combine officer must give up everything he holds dear to exact revenge on a monolithic enemy. Step into the middle of the Ronin War, where Kurita warriors on both sides of a bitter ideological divide seek the truly honorable course of action. Then dive into the Clan Invasion, where Combine warriors standing against the overwhelming tide of Clan conquest face a unique but brutal kind of honor-bound combat.

This action-packed anthology includes nine BattleTech short stories balanced on the razor's edge of Draconis Combine honor. Sheathe your katana, climb into your 'Mech's cockpit, and get ready to go to war in hard-hitting stories from authors such as Dylan Birtolo, Alan Brundage, Jason Hansa, Chris Hartford, Chris Hussey, Kevin Killiany, Philip A. Lee, David G. Martin, and Craig A. Reed, Jr.
