BattleTech: Shrapnel, Issue #6 (The Official BattleTech Magazine) Paperback – 13 Sept. 2021

A great collection of short stories, covering all kinds of subjects and from different backgrounds and times and settings in the battletech universe.

Great to see stories in the present era beyond the Republic of the Sphere and into something new. Nice range of older stories too

perfect

It's not *quite* the old BattleTechnology magazine, but it's close and that's awesome!All that's really missing is the fake ads.

Seriously what a great purchase. I wish I would have bought all of these issues ages ago when they first came out and am kicking myself because I didn't.The stories are so great and engaging- not just great "for a battletech story", but great as stories period. Every issue has at least one story that makes me cry, sometimes more- and the same happened when I read a story out loud to my girlfriend.She has become far more interested after this, as she hadn't realized how deep and character driven the universe is. I love Shrapnel and the team behind it. The authors, illustrators, and everyone on the project is just... fantastic.

Shrapnel 6 does not disappoint, living up to previous offerings with a wide variety of awesome Battletech content. All of the stories are solid reads, with a few excellent standouts. We get the beginnings of a serialized story from Craig Reed that will leave you wanting the next Shrapnel to release so you can read more. There is even a story set in the periphery of the HBS Battletech game. There's something for everyone in this edition, you will not be disappointed.

I liked this product. Added to my collection. A must have for any battletech fan. Also a great way for new people to get into the battletech universe. Filled with short stories and articles from the battletech universe. Showing different sides and the greyness of human nature. Loved it greatly and can not wait for the next one.

Ive picked up a bunch of issues of Shrapnel and have really enjoyed them. One of the best aspects of Battletech fiction is how it blends action and universe building together.My only issue was that the glue binding this particular copy together came apart almost instantly. I haven't had that problem with any of my other issues of Shrapnel so maybe I just got a bad copy this time around.
