My wife and I are building a new house and we have sold ours (after five hours on the market – screw you Covid-19!). As such I am packing. I have a set of shelves filled with the stuff I wrote as well as mementos.
One I have is one I contributed to – this little gem.
What I REALLY like about this is that it was personally made with my name on the cover and it was a limited print run. For me, it’s a BattleTech treasure.
I have been pushing John Helfers, my editor at Catalyst, that we ought to do a special print run of the ilClan novel when it finally comes out along the same lines as this book. I said, “Some fans would pay big bucks for a hard cover elite printing.” I’m sure it won’t happen…but if you like the idea, please nag the powers that be.
In the meantime, I thought I’d share this with you all just for grins. Enjoy
Exodus Road was the first novel I read from the Battletech series and it hooked me. Thank you for your part in bringing that glorious world to life.
You are welcome!
BattleTech Compendium was a great book, and your copy is definitely much nicer than mine! Thanks for sharing, it looks lovely.
Oooh, #38!
I scored #251 at GenCon the year this was released, even got a couple of the FASA crew to sign it (problem is, I can’t really figure out the signatures!) I *think* one of them is Jordan Weisman but I have no guess on the other…
Hmm, maybe the eminent Historian and Author Mr Pardoe could figure it out?
(OK, yes, a not so subtle “help me Obi-Wan Pardoe, you’re my only hope!”)
I’m not a handwriting expert – and with most of my stuff in boxes right now, I can’t help!
Never hurts to ask though!
