Jason Schmetzer

Jason Schmetzer is an American writer of military science fiction working within the licensed BattleTech universe from Catalyst Game Labs, alongside contributions to the Shadowrun setting. His BattleTech fiction spans multiple linked series and story arcs, including Operation Ice Storm, the Eridani Light Horse Chronicles, and The Proliferation Cycle, with novels and novellas such as Embers of War, Blood Will Tell, Redemption Rift and Redemption Rites following mercenary companies and clan warriors through the setting's interstellar conflicts. Schmetzer has also written shorter connected fiction under titles like Front Lines, Sniper and Weapons Free, building a substantial body of work almost entirely within BattleTech's shared continuity rather than original settings.
