The '''Warrior Trilogy''' is an early [[BattleTech]] novel series by [[Michael A. Stackpole]], initially published by [[FASA]] as print novels in the US in 1988 and 1989. The novels saw several reprints. For a time they were also published in [[w:EPUB|EPUB]] (electronic publication) format including an omnibus edition released through [[BattleCorps]] in 2010; however, the electronic copies were withdrawn again after a short time and have not been available since 2012.

==Overview==
The trilogy consists of the novels
#''[[Warrior: En Garde]]'' (August 1988)
#''[[Warrior: Riposte]]'' (October 1988)
#''[[Warrior: Coupé]]'' (April 1989)

The novel follows the intertwined stories of [[Justin Xiang Allard]], [[Daniel Allard]] and the [[Kell Hounds]] and [[Yorinaga Kurita]] and the [[Genyosha]] in the build-up to the wedding of [[Hanse Davion]] and [[Melissa Steiner]] and the [[Fourth Succession War]] that was launched during the wedding, as well as political machinations of [[Michael Hasek-Davion]] and of subversive elements within the [[Steiner]] nobility. [[ComStar]] is revealed to be a very powerful and ruthless agency who are following their own agenda behind the mask of a benevolent, pacifistic and neutral organisation.
