Kill Zone (subtitle: BattleCorps Anthology, Vol. 7) is a print anthology of nine short stories (two of them connected) that had previously been published via BattleCorps throughout 2010, plus one previously unpublished story (Arms of the Destroyer). Futher, it includes two chapters from Jason Schmetzer's Redemption Rift, a foreword by editor Philip A. Lee and an "About the Authors" section.
This 2019 continuation of the BattleCorps anthology series is notable insofar as both the preceding BattleCorps anthology and the final BattleCorps story and had been published in 2016; the site went offline a few months later. The line of print anthologies continued in 2017 with the somewhat unique Legacy anthology, but this was published as a BattleTech anthology, and not under the BattleCorps moniker. For this reason, Kill Zone is listed as both the 7th "BattleCorps" anthology and the 8th "BattleTech" anthology (though the latter count omits the early Shrapnel anthology and the BattleTech: 25 Years of Art & Fiction book).
From the back cover
| “ | REDEMPTION. RESISTANCE. RESOLVE.
A young Davion MechWarrior seeks to repay a debt incurred by the misfortunes of the Fourth Succession War. A tightly-knit farming community bands together to repel vicious pirates or risk losing their livelihoods...and their lives. A Kurita MechWarrior given a final chance to serve the Dragon stands alone against renegade mercenaries. And the survivors of a crash-landed Steiner command must hold the line against ravenous Word of Blake forces to protect the Allied Coalition's quest to wrest Terra from the Blakists' unyielding grip. |
