Jaguar's Leap is a novel by Reed Bishop and the third entry into the Honor & Glory series announced by Catalyst Game Labs as unlockable stretch goals for the 2019 Clan Invasion Crowdfunding Campaign.
The novel was the result of the "Level III": $280,000 stretch goal intended to include a Senior Backer (Bloodnamed and above) canon character appearance in a new novel, planned to be released for free in digital format to all Star Commander backers and above with lower tiers having the option to purchase the title.
Jaguar's Leap was published in EPUB on 13 July 2022—two weeks ahead of its formal official release via a campaign update—to (roughly) two-thirds of all backers (not merely Star Commander backers) due to technical difficulties delaying the release to all intended recipients, and ultimately released for free to all Clan Invasion backers irrespective of their tier via the CGL online store on 20 December 2024.
It was published for retail sales in EPUB and Print on Demand on 26 August 2022.

“ | FIVE AGAINST ONE...
It was supposed to be just another exercise—a Star of light 'Mechs against one assault 'Mech. Jackson is a ristar cadet in Clan Smoke Jaguar, renowned—and envied—for never losing a battle. The five cadets beneath him in the rankings plan to hand him his first defeat. But the training goes terribly wrong, and before the day is over, there are winners and losers—and one cadet will not survive the day. That training exercise sets in motion a chain of actions that encompasses both events that occurred decades earlier, and those yet to come. Now a full MechWarrior, Star Captain Jackson searches for answers--both about his past, and what had happened that fateful day. But what he learns are secrets that threaten to upend his entire life--and make him reconsider what it means to be a Smoke Jaguar... |
