The Corps (subtitle: BattleCorps Anthology Vol. 1) is a print anthology of 17 short stories previously published via BattleCorps, and an 18th, previously unpublished story (Destiny's Challenge) that continues the story of one of the others.
It also includes a Foreword by the editor, Loren L. Coleman, how BattleCorps came into being; an "About the authors" section at the end; and a collection of BattleMech illustrations in the back.
The cover depicts a climactic scene from one of the stories (Isolation's Weight).
From the back cover
“ | Warriors All.
The Great Star League general, Aleksandr Kerensky. Colonel Archer Christifori, a man with a score to settle. Nelson Geist, on Christmas patrol. Clan Jade Falcon's MechWarrior Joanna. The Northwind Highlanders. A Sandoval scion. A prisoner of war. An eleven-year-old girl. They all have two things in common. A universe torn apart by unending warfare. A mission, to stand up against the darkness. |
