Talk:List of German BattleTech novels

Reprints

Browsing through the largely incomplete Ulisses section at the bottom of the article and I realised that some of the entries appear to be reprints of the earlier (translated) editions from Heyne. If I am correct in this I think that we can trim them from the list and just make a note of it being later reprinted in the original entry. The reason for this being that as an english speaking BT fan I feel that the primary interest in this article is in the later German only novels with the translated novels being of very little interest and certainly not worth two entries.--Dmon (talk) 11:58, 28 August 2020 (EDT)

Nope, the only reprints in the entire line were The Sword and the Dagger and the Warrior trilogy, both by FanPro. The bottom of the list seems like placeholders from another list, I haven't cleaned that section up yet. But the List of BattleTech print novels shows the original BT books published by FanPro and then Ulisses, in correct order. In that list, The Sword and the Dagger reprint would be FanPro #4 and the Warrior trilogy #7, 8, and 9. Not entirely sure how far they took the translation of the MWDA novel line, they stopped after Trial by Chaos I think. Frabby (talk) 15:00, 28 August 2020 (EDT)

Is the list over on the main BT novel list upto date? There are a few names on this one that stand out as not being on the other one like Blakes Horror and In Blakes Namen.--Dmon (talk) 15:46, 28 August 2020 (EDT)

The list is up to date, and from the looks of it Ulisses ceased publishing new original German novels after #35 (May 2018). It's a topic all of its own, but I think it's reasonably safe to assume none more will be forthcoming. As for Blake's Horror and In Blakes Namen, these are individual parts of Daniel "DarkISI"'s novel Gejagt. Prior to its print publication, it was published digitally as a six-part series and these are the titles of the third and fifth installment, respectively. See novel article for details.
