Natural Selection, by Michael A. Stackpole, covers the Red Corsair conspiracy.

The plot of the novel continues in Assumption of Risk.

On 7 July 2009, the novel was made available on BattleCorps as a PDF file (text only, without the cover, pictures or any other artwork except the usual BattleCorps frame graphics). The PDF includes a disclaimer stating that it was created from a pre-final edition text and might differ from the printed version and that canon-wise, the print edition trumps the PDF edition.

From the back cover

The Clan War had ended in an uneasy peace. Sporadic Clan incursions into Inner Sphere territory supply mercenaries like the Kell Hounds with more work than they can handle... border raids sharply divide the Federated Commonwealth's political factions, bringing further instability to the realm standing between Clan's goals and anarchy.

And while secret ambitions drive plans to rip the Commonwealth apart, Khan Phelan Ward and Prince Victor Davion—cousins, rulers, and enemies—must decide if maintaining the peace justifies the actions they will take to preserve it.
