WANTED: DEAD OR ALIVE
Wearing unique green power armor and piloting a bright-green ’Mech adorned with credit symbols, the legendary Bounty Hunter first appeared during the late Third Succession War, and though his price might be high, his fearsome reputation has ensured the job will always get done, guaranteed. Throughout the centuries, the Bounty Hunter has gone through numerous reinventions, each holder of the mantle passing the tradition to the next generation. But who truly lies behind the mask, and are they friend or foe?
This anthology traces the Bounty Hunter’s singular legend across the centuries, beginning with his origins in the 2920s, and going all the way to the latest inheritor of the mantle in the ilClan era of 3151. Filled with action, betrayal, and intrigue, these twelve BattleTech stories chronicle never-before-seen moments of the Bounty Hunter’s history. Step into the Bounty Hunter’s iconic green power armor and chase down criminals, miscreants, and even the notorious Black Widow herself, in gritty, gunslinging tales by Geoff Swift, Giles Gammage, Russell Zimmerman, Wunji Lau, Chris Hartford, Bryan Young, Alan Brundage, Daniel Isberner, Michael J. Ciaravella, and Kevin Killiany.
