Canonicity

Written in German and exclusively published in that language so far, Im Schatten der Bestie 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)

“

As the Inner Sphere descends into chaos and General Aleksandr Kerensky is reconquering one system after another from the Rim Worlds Republic, self-proclaimed Eperor Stefan Amaris turns Terra into a fortress. While most Star League Defense Force forces were destroyed in Amaris' coup or went to the underground, some accepted the new lord—either out of fear or falling for false propaganda. Weary and injured SLDF Major Gerald McKenniston is tranferred to Terra to train new recruits. Between problems with RWR troops, SLDF and inexperienced recruits he even ends up in the crosshairs of military intelligence. The final war years soon turn out to be grinding for all. With the iron ring around Terra closing, McKenniston is facing a decision he has long feared and choses a way he never wanted to go.
