Tom Bloom Book order (chronological)

A Mud-and-Lasers Tabletop Roleplaying Game of Modular Mechs and the Pilots that crew them. Created in partnership with Massif Press, Dark Horse Books presents LANCER. 15,000 years into the future, humanity has survived near collapse and since expanded ever wider into the frontiers of space, organized by UNION, the central hegemon of the populated galaxy. At Union’s heart, the dream of human utopia has been realized; but Lancer is set at the trembling edges of the expansion where resistance to the ideals of the utopia grow. As a lancer, you pilot a mech as unique as yourself. You are, by training, luck, circumstance, or work, one of the best. In this era near the golden age, you have one question to answer above all: who do you fight for? Lancer features a deep, story-rich setting for players to engage with. Every choice they make, every ordnance they mount, every weapon they wield — all of it has lore attached, just waiting for a story to develop.

Dear God, Maybe Cain and Abel would not kill each other so much if they had their own rooms. It works with my brother. Dear God, Who draws the lines around the countries? Dear God, On Halloween I am going to wear a devil's costume. Is that all right with you? These and other puzzlements, imponderables, fervent wishes, complaints and thanks make up this delightful collection. Some of the children's views are disarmingly wise, some naive; some are purposeful and determined, some innocent; some serious, others a little more light-hearted. But all are written in the utmost hope that their letters will be answered in one way or another.
