Bills]] that was published online on [[BattleCorps]] starting 16 November 2007 as a serial. Intended as the first part of the ''[[Founding of the Clans]]'' trilogy, it had previously been published in Germany under the title '''''Clangründer: Abkehr''''' ("Clan Founders: Breakaway"). The second part, announced as ''[[Visions of Rebirth]]'', was only ever published in German as ''[[Clangründer: Traum]]'' ("Clan Founders: Dream"); the third part, announced as ''[[Forging of Blood]]'', was never written. − The novel has a complicated publication history. It had just been written when [[FASA]] decided to cease active operations and [[Roc Books]] had no interest in publishing further novels in the BattleTech line. The manuscript remained unpublished for some time, and first saw publication in 2004 in its German translation under the title '''''Clangründer: Abkehr''''' ("Clan Founders: Breakaway") by [[Fantasy Productions]]. The original English text was only published starting 16 November 2007 as a serial via [[BattleCorps]]. + ==Plot summary== − + The first part of the ''Founding of the Clans'' trilogy, ''Fall from Glory'' covers the first eighteen years following the begin of [[Operation Exodus]].
