Initiation to War, by Robert N. Charrette, is the story of Tybalt Kelly's painful introduction to war and politics in the Chaos March. It is the fourth novel in the loosely related MechWarrior series.
The novel was made available on BattleCorps on 28 April 2011 as a PDF file (text only, without cover, pictures, or any other interior artwork except for the usual BattleCorps frame graphics). The PDF copy includes a disclaimer stating that it was created from a pre-final edition text that might differ from the printed version and that canon-wise, the print edition trumps the PDF edition.
