Sword of Sedition, by Loren L. Coleman, is the fifteenth novel in the MechWarrior: Dark Age series. It was first published in April 2005 by Roc Books and was later republished in October 2021 by Catalyst Game Labs as a BattleTech Legends title.

The novel focuses on the gathering of Inner Sphere leaders at the funeral of Paladin Victor Steiner-Davion.

From the back cover[edit]

“ Newly elected Exarch Jonah Levin is still trying to come to terms with the responsibilities of his office. With his recent discovery of treachery in The Republic's Senate, he can trust very few people—and not even his own Paladins have been immune to murderous intrigue...

Tensions are heating up between Exarch Levin and the senators determined to fight what they call the "injustice being done to The Republic's government." Some are even agitating for Levin's censure—a move that could accomplish the same thing as the recent attempted coup that killed legendary Paladin Victor Steiner-Davion.

One of The Republic's last hopes is the summit of Inner Sphere leaders gathering on Terra. Ostensibly a tribute to the assassinated Steiner-Davion, it also has the potential to halt the escalating violence of the last few years. And although Victor would not have wanted his death to be the cause of more political maneuvering, Levin knows that the great man would not begrudge The Republic this one final service—if only it isn't too late.

”
