'''Slack Tide''' (subtitled '''A BattleCorps Anthology''') is an anthology released on 21 February 2020 and contains short stories that were published online on [[BattleCorps]] in [[w:PDF|PDF]] format between November 2015 and May 2016. They are not interconnected, but all take place during the aftermath of the [[Clan Invasion]].

'''Slack Tide''' is an anthology released on 21 February 2020 and contains short stories that were published online on [[BattleCorps]] in [[w:PDF|PDF]] format between November 2015 and May 2016. They are not interconnected, but all take place during the aftermath of the [[Clan Invasion]].
 
 
This like its immediate predecessor, ''[[Gray Markets]]'', this BattleCorps anthology differs from previous BattleCorps anthologies in two ways: It does not feature an all-new, previously unpublished story; and the stories, while not connected, share a common theme instead of simply being a collection of BattleCorps stories from a given year.
 
 
 
The book is technically the ninth BattleCorps anthology, published just a month after ''Gray Markets'' which comprised of stories that were published in the second half of 2016, but it is at the same time also marketed as a BattleTech Antology with different numbering, to account for other BattleTech anthologies that are not part of the BattleCorps series of anthologies.

"PEACE MAY SELL…BUT WHAT IF NO ONE’S BUYING?
  
On 21 May [[3052]], the seemingly [[Clan Invasion|unstoppable military juggernaut]] of the invading [[Clans]] was defeated in a [[Battle of Tukayyid|pitched campaign]] on the quiet world of [[Tukayyid]]. This astonishing victory bought the weary armies of the [[Inner Sphere]] a [[Truce of Tukayyid|fifteen-year stay]] before the invasion can resume. But despite the truce, the fire driving the Clans’ centuries-long quest to conquer [[Terra]], the birthplace of humankind, and rebuild Inner Sphere civilization in their warmongering image has not been extinguished. Conflict still rages above the truce line, and the Clans are biding their time until the tide of war can surge up and flood the Inner Sphere once more.

This astonishing victory bought the weary armies of the Inner Sphere a fifteen-year stay before the invasion can resume.

Conflict still rages above the truce line, and the Clans are biding their time until the tide of war can surge up and flood the Inner Sphere once more.
  
''Slack Tide'' collects nine stories that chronicle the life-and-death struggles still being waged in the wake of Tukayyid’s so-called peace. Fan-favorite authors such as Jason Hansa, Philip A. Lee, and Craig A. Reed, Jr. spin tales of undercover operatives seeking to gain the secrets of Clan [[BattleMech]] technology, Inner Sphere [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] attempting dangerous escapes from Clan-controlled planets, and [[mercenaries]] fighting to protect the only things that truly matter to them—themselves and their loved ones.
