If Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot..., subtitled "A Kell Hounds Story", is a series of novelettes (or a serialized novella) by Michael A. Stackpole that seamlessly continues the third story from Stackpole's earlier Kell Hounds Ascendant trilogy. The first installment, marked as part 1 of 4, was published in the inaugural issue of the Shrapnel magazine in 2020. Parts 2 & 3 continued in the following two editions, with the Part 4 conclusion being delayed until Issue 5. All four parts were later combined and republished as a novella by Catalyst Game Labs.

From the back cover[edit]

Fresh off saving Prince Ian Davion of the Federated Suns, Morgan Kell returns home to find his paramour, Veronica Matova, has vanished without a trace. Desperate to find her, Morgan tasks the Hounds to track her down—and uncovers a conspiracy to destroy the Kell Hounds’ reputation using Veronica as a hostage.

While Morgan races against time to locate her, Patrick engages in a dangerous game cat-and-mouse with their unknown adversaries, pulling every trick in the book to stay one step ahead of whoever wants to take the Kell Hounds down. But these shadowy enemies don’t realize who they’re dealing with…and no force in the Inner Sphere will help them once Morgan Kell finds them…

Plot Summary[edit]

On Zavijava, Morgan Kell finds that his love interest Veronica Matova has been abducted, and sets out to rescue her.
