Stackpole exits BattleTech -- 11:16 pm CST, Update by The Master

Just read a little essay over on Michael Stackpole's website entitled "Last Call II: Why Prince of Havoc was my last BattleTech® novel", indicating that since (A) FASA can't get their royalty schedule unscrewed, and (B) ROC doesn't really want to publish BattleTech novels, Stackpole is no longer going to write BattleTech novels.

I know a LOT of people in the BattleTech fan community who don't like Stackpole's writing-they consider it trite and unimaginative. I think his novels are the best in the BattleTech universe, and I will sorely miss his BattleTech writing. But that's the way it goes. Blech. Guess I'll have to try some of his other stuff and see how I like it . . .

A.T. Hun comments: Well, considering that you are basically trite and unimaginative yourself . . . :)

The Master comments: I'll file that comment away for the future-you just wait :-)
