The Sword and the Dagger
The 1st Battletech novel.

"The five houses of the Successor States employ both warfare and treachery in their efforts to gain control of the interstellar empire once known as the Star League. Huge, man-like, walking tanks called BattleMechs rule the battlefields, but intrigues and plots rule the imperial courts.
Hanse Davion is Prince of the Federated Suns, the largest of the five warring Houses... an idealistic man who has had to learn that politics Is neither honorable nor straightforward.
Ardan Sortek is the commander of Hanse Davion's personal guard. Although a long-time friend of Hanse's, he has not yet learned the lessons of power. Through a chance series of events he stumbles upon a plot of such magnitude that it threatens the balance of power of Inner Sphere. Unfortunately, no one will believe him... Indeed, they think he is quite mad. Is Ardan crazy or is someone trying to kill Hanse Davion?"

Shrapnel: Fragments from the Inner Sphere
"Shrapnel, those unexpected bits of hot metal that strike by chance. Soldiers in combat philosophize that when their time is up, that's it — there's no avoiding a bullet that 'has your name on it.'
But when Shrapnel arrives, it is addressed, 'Occupant: To whom it may concern.'
This collection of short stories are fragments, unexpected bits of life and death in the Inner Sphere. The sudden salty taste of blood. The acrid smell of scorched metal. A hot cup of coffee after a long night's battle.
Shrapnel is images and experiences frozen in the mind of the observer."

CONTRIBUTORS: Jordan K. Weisman; Ken St. Andre; William H. Keith, Jr; Elizabeth Danforth; Michael Stackpole; more.

NOVA Gamebooks

"In the 31st Century warfare is common. But whatever world the battle is on, the battlefield is dominated by one weapon: the BattleMech. Heavily armed and armored, these vaguely humanoid fighting machines are virtually unstoppable — except by another 'Mech. The men and women who pilot them, the MechWarriors, are the elite of a military society.
Now you can find out what it's like to pilot a 'Mech — from the inside! Each page of these books gives you the view from the cockpit of your 'Mech as you face off against another of these awesome machines. The controls are in your hands; the choices are yours!"
