These Violent Ends is the fourth part of the Dominion Civil War series and ends this particular story.

You can get it at the Catalyst store: https://store.catalystgamelabs.com/products/battletech-these-violent-ends-the-dominion-civil-war-part-four-by-bryan-young

Or wherever else you get ebooks.

The omnibus and dead tree version (which will include an exclusive extra story about the Bears and their continued troubles, set in 3153) will come out sometime late this year or early next. (I'll give you more info as I get it about that.)

That extra fifth story is called "Defy the Stars" and the omnibus will be chonky.

But have at it. I'll answer questions all day as I'm working!

Just hide spoilers for folks!

I did an interview with James Luceno about his work as half of Jack McKinney for the now canceled Robotech coffee table book I was working on. There's a lot of fascinating stuff in here for Robotech fans (like myself)

I'm excited for folks to get a look at the next installment of the Dominion Civil War. You get to meet Prince Miraborg in the fiction here, and another, wider view of the War itself... And the Crater Cobras!

"Clan Ghost Bear is fractured. Prince Miraborg is fighting to reunite his shattered realm, and to do so, he sets his sight on the weakened Draconis Combine. Vespertine and Strider have separated after their duel, transferring to different fronts of the imminent war. But a wounded Dragon is still dangerous, and this fight is just as likely to open old wounds than heal scars..."

To answer a couple of questions - Part 4 comes out in August.

All four parts will be collected (with some bonus material) in print sometime at the end of this year or early next. I don't know the date yet.

Just remember that there are spoilers here. And I reserve the right to not answer questions if they are obtuse. I'll try to keep spoilery answers behind spoiler blocks, too. I'll do my best to answer questions through tomorrow!

With Ghosts of Timkovichi coming out Friday, I thought it might be helpful if folks had a primer for why Timkovichi was such an important place as far as the recent history of the Kell Hounds went.

So, here's a short primer about it and why it might be haunting for the Kell Hounds--and the people that live there.
