Blutige Jagd ("Bloody Hunt") is the 33rd in the line of original German-language Classic BattleTech novels. Written by Stefan Burban and following up on the events from his earlier novel Sturm auf Arc-Royal, it was published on 12 October 2016.

Canonicity
Written in German and exclusively published in that language so far, Blutige Jagd does not meet the current criteria for Canon in the BattleTech universe. As an official product published under a valid license, it should be regarded as apocryphal.
From the back cover (translated from German)
| “ | The civil war that polarized the citizens of the Federated Commonwealth for years concludes with the battle of Tharkad. But for some, the war is far from over.
Oberstleutnant Hans Grüner, one of the architects of the attack on Arc-Royal, manages to flee besieged Tharkad City at the last moment with a group of followers. He escapes into the Periphery to set up his own petty kingdom. However, the Kell Hounds neither forget nor forgive. A mixed task force composed of mercenaries and their Clan Wolf-in-Exile allies is sent to bring Grüner to justice. He's well prepared for that kind of surprise though... |

Plot Summary
Ruthless and ambitious Hans Grüner managed to deflect blame from himself after the debacle on Arc-Royal that he was deeply involved in, but it still effectively ended his military career. Undaunted, he continues to pursue his "retirement plan": Grüner has all but purchased the periphery world of Andiron in the Circinus Federation as his personal fief back in 3060, and quietly continues to gather followers for his personal exodus. As the FedCom Civil War ends with the Lyran Alliance on the losing side, many loyal Steiner troops who committed war crimes and many noble sycophants of Katherine Steiner-Davion see no future for themselves, and throw their lot in with Grüner while the fighting on Tharkad still rages. In the nick of time, Grüner escapes with several DropShips filled with desperate crack troops and their equipment, as well as nobles who bring all the treasures they can carry. (Grüner naturally intends to lose the nobles en route, without letting them in on his actual destination.)
One of Grüner's outbound DropShips is disabled and captured by FedCom forces, and his plan is uncovered. Since the FedCom realm doesn't seek to pursue a war with the Circinus Federation, a detachment of Kell Hounds is sent to arrest Grüner; Clan Wolf-in-Exile includes a small force of their own "for reasons of honor" following the events on Arc-Royal two years earlier.
