More than one hundred full-length BattleTech or MechWarrior science fiction novels have been published by FASA Corporation, ROC, and later by Catalyst Game Labs. They have been translated into at least fifteen languages. Countless other shorter works of BattleTech fiction have been published in BattleCorps, as novellas, or in BattleTech magazines or in BattleTech tabletop game rule books. These works of fiction take place in the BattleTech universe of the 31st and 32nd centuries. They can be considered space opera[1] and military science fiction.[2]

The BattleTech novels by Robert Thurston are more straightforwardly sf, specifically space opera.

If your story isn't primarily military sci-fi, then it's probably not for us.
