The novel was written in English, but not published for some time after [[FASA]] ceased active operations in 2001 and [[Roc Books]] voiced no interest in publishing more BattleTech novels. However, [[FanPro]] published a German translation titled '''''In Ungnade''''' ("(Fallen) In(to) Disfavor") as the 13th of their German-only line of [[FanPro Novels|Classic BattleTech novels]] in April 2007, as part of the [[Great Game]] cycle of stories set in the late [[twenty-sixth century|twenty-sixth]] and early [[twenty-seventh century|twenty-seventh centuries]].

''Fall from Grace'', as published on BattleCorps a year later, is different from the earlier edition that was translated as "In Ungnade" because of fact-checking and continuity concerns. It turned out that the original manuscript, unpublished in English for several years, now clashed with other [[canon]] material that had since been published, and had to be revised to account for some inconsistencies. According to the author, ''"Chapter 11 got a fair re-working to fit with established continuity but the rest was mainly tweaks and small-scale corrections."''<ref>As stated by him in [http://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php/topic,8376.msg302325.html#msg302325 this posting] on the BattleTech forum</ref> As a result, the German edition as published is not considered canonical; it is trumped by the 2008 BattleCorps edition.
