''When the [[Star League]] self-destructs, a shadowy power behind the fanatical [[Word of Blake]] pulls the strings taut in righteous anger, launching a war to bring humanity to its knees. Confusion reigns, and each faction finds itself isolated amid its own turmoil. Yet as a new decade dawns, glimpses of the greater whole begin to appear through the dark clouds. The true battle has only just begun.

Blake Ascending: A Jihad Compilation ''is an omnibus reprint of ''[[Dawn of the Jihad]]'' and ''[[Jihad Hot Spots: 3070]]''; the first two sourcebooks in the seminal [[Jihad]] plot line. The ''Blake Ascending'' sourcebook shakes the [[Classic BattleTech]] universe to its foundation, documenting the opening years from 3067 to [[3070]]. The series of events presented in this book unfold in a rolling format, allowing readers to immerse themselves more directly into the action than ever before. Players of both Classic BattleTech and [[Classic BattleTech RPG]] will find framework rules to run any type of campaign in regions through out [''sic''] the Inner Sphere during this chaotic time.''}}

*''Blake Ascending'' is a reprint of ''Dawn of the Jihad'' and ''Jihad Hot Spots: 3070'', in one volume. Except for errata, no changes have been made to the contents.  
*Editors: whenever you cite ''Blake Ascending'' in an article, please also cite the relevant pages from the other two books. In ''Blake Ascending'', the first 160 pages match those of ''Dawn of the Jihad'' exactly (''e.g'': page 137 of ''BA'' is the same as page 137 of ''DotJ''). All pages after p. 160 correspond with ''Jihad Hot Spots: 3070'', when 160 is subtracted from the BA page number (''ex'': page 200 of ''BA'' is the same as page 40 of ''JH:3070''). The reprinted ''JH:3070'' table of contents is on pp. 162–163 in ''BA''.
