Black Dragon, by Victor Milán, concludes the adventures of Camacho's Caballeros mercenary band and their continuing battle with the secretive Black Dragon Society.

On 30 May 2010, the novel was made available on BattleCorps as a PDF file (text only, without the cover, pictures or any other artwork except the usual BattleCorps frame graphics). The PDF includes a disclaimer stating that it was created from a pre-final edition text and might differ from the printed version; canon-wise, the print edition trumps the PDF edition.
