'''''Fall from Glory''''' is a novel by [[Randall N. Bills]], the first part of the ''[[Founding of the Clans]]'' trilogy.
  
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 The manuscript remained unpublished for some time, and first saw publication in 2004 in its German translation under the title '''''Clangründer: Abkehr''''' ("Clan Founders: Breakaway") by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]].

Over the course of the [[2019 Clan Invasion crowdfunding campaign|2019 crowdfunding campaign]] for the [[BattleTech: Clan Invasion]] [[boxed set]], a re-release of the entire ''Founding of the Clans'' trilogy was unlocked as a stretch goal. Bills and [[CGL]] decided to revise the first two books in the process (the third had not yet been written), creating new, authoritative versions that were expanded over the originals and partly rewritten. The first revised book was published on 8 March 2021.
