Series Adel vernichtet
Followed by Kalkuliertes Chaos

Der Erbe ("The Heir"), subtitled Adel vernichtet 1 ("Nobility destroys", a play on "Adel verpflichtet", German for Noblesse oblige), is the 29th of the German-language Classic BattleTech Novels published by FanPro. Written by Jochen Hahn and Karsten Kaeb, it was published on 18 November 2015.

Canonicity

Written in German and exclusively published in that language so far, Der Erbe does not meet the current criteria for Canon in the BattleTech universe. As an official product published under a valid license, it should be regarded as apocryphal.

From the back cover (translated from German)

The Federated Commonwealth has to cope with a serious loss. Hanse Davion, First Prince of the Federated Suns and one of the main architects of the unification between House Davion and House Steiner, is dead.

New power struggles immediately erupt in the politically unstable Capellan March. On the planet Cammal, the arrival of a legitimate heir to the ducal throne which has been vacant since the Fourth Succession War is eagerly anticipated by the people. But instead of integrating the civil government and the Youngblood Renegades mercenaries, new rifts open up. Friends and allies find themselves in opposing camps as the planet slithers ever deeper into a crisis.

Veteran Colonel Jason Craig Youngblood soon wonders if the troubled past has really been overcome yet.
