| “ | BRACE FOR IMPACT!
Shrapnel: The Official BattleTech Magazine is your ultimate target for tales of hard-hitting, explosive BattleMech action across the battlefields of the 31st century and beyond! Trapped on a forgotten planet, a lone MechWarrior fighting to survive must stay one step ahead of the relentless barbarians hunting her down. Amid a naval battle for the ages, a damage-control technician will do his part to put an end to the greatest evil in human-habited space. And during the Wars of Reaving, a Clan technician given the opportunity of a lifetime must guard her secret, even if it leads to her grave…' In this issue, you’ll travel to the edge of the Periphery, where a dying, sun-baked world breathes its last gasp; you’ll follow a daring criminal cult in search of dangerous victims in the Capellan Confederation; and you’ll have to outsmart or outfight other pirates to keep them from stealing the perfect score out from beneath you… Plus, brace yourself for the exciting conclusion of the serial novel Lone Wolf and Fox, by Bryan Young. No matter where you go in the Inner Sphere, conflict will inevitably find you, and the surefire way to defend yourself against it is with articles on arms dealers to either buy from or hunt down, spacefaring threats both real and imagined, and the best methods for transporting your weapons of war. Then go deeper into the trenches with unit and planet digests, technical readouts, a cautionary tale of ten playable pilots, and more—all by BattleTech authors both new and old. |
