Flashpoint, by Loren L. Coleman, is a novel of the massive Federated Commonwealth Civil War viewed from a single planet swept up in the conflict.
The novel was made available on BattleCorps on 06 March 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.

Caught in the power struggle between supporters of Katrina and those of her brother, Victor, McCarthy vows that he won't fail the people of his homeworld, even if that means leading his untested MechWarriors against the Eighth's superior firepower—and dredging up a past he'd rather forget... |
