Originally conceived (and announced[1]) as an upcoming BattleTech novel in the "Classic" line for December 2008, Shadows of Faith (prefix: Tales of the Jihad), by Loren L. Coleman, was never published as a print novel. The unfinished novel was ultimately published on BattleCorps between 2005 and 2006 as a seven-part serial story. It describes the beginning of the Jihad era from the point of view of several core characters.
The unused cover art was shown in the BattleTech: 25 Years of Art and Fiction tome[2], captioned as art from the forthcoming publication Shadows of Faith.
