They are the chronicles of how the clans came to be. I cant find the link rite now but I should be able to get one soon.

I think they might also be the ones that were translated into English by some fans then they got sued Huh

http://www.battlecorps.com/BC2/index.html

Due to licensing issues (curse you Roc) the previously German only founding of the Clans trilogy is going to be released in a serialized fashion on Battlecorps.  You should be able to buy an electronic copy of them if you don't mind waiting for them to be released.

They have also published a novel length story about the Wolverine Annihilation.  Recently they announced a new 40,000+ word story by Stackpole about the founding of the Kellhounds thats going to be released at the same time as the founding of the Clans trilogy. 
They have a bunch of other stuff on there including some stuff for free.

Teaser ahoy:

Galaport, Galatean City
Galatea, Lyran Commonwealth
3 October 3010

   Morgan Kell paused at the head of the gangway leading from the Leopard-Class DropShip's side to the spaceport's ferrocrete pad. He opened his arms, expanding his chest, smiling as he breathed in. His eyes closed for a moment, then he nodded. "Smell that, Patrick?"
   His brother, not quite as tall or wide, but possessed of the same good looks, black hair and dark brown eyes, cocked an eyebrow. "Am I sure I want to?"
   Morgan hooked an arm around younger brother's neck. "It's the future."
   "Smells like some 'Mech overheated and boiled out two heat sinks."
   "Yeah, that, too."

Someone posted summaries of the books on Classicbattletech.com some time ago.

Good to see that there are stories being written pre Clans. I'll take a look at those.
My BT collection is not extensive, mostly just the novels and the more recent MW games.

I do have a copy of the Star League sourcebook, The Galtor Campaign and a collection of short stories and artwork called Shrapnel.
I have to admit that I have only read one of the Dark Age novels. I read the very first since Mr Stackpole wrote it.

I really didn't dig the direction that Whizkids took the BT license. I feel that there are still too many stories to be told from the Third succession war onward.

You should look into some of the newer books set before 3050.
Historical: War of 3039
Historical: Brush Wars
The new TRO: 3039

Brush Wars seems realy interesting. It details the Ronin War, the Free Worlds League Civil War with Anton Marik and Wolves Dragoons, and the Andurien War/Wars where Andurien splits off from the FWL and joins with the Canopions in an attack on the dimenished Cepellens.  Cool stuff.

If you are listing everything I did not see the whole line of click-style mech sets made by Wizkids.

i agree......wizkids can stick my 'mechs laser in its mouth...and i will HAPPILY pull the trigger. btw i absolutely loe the bt books. there is a local miniature bt clan and i occasionally participate. gotta love that stuff. my book collection, however, has suffered the cruel fate that we all see now, no more books in stores. i only have two classic bt novels but i have read quite a few. one of these days i must buy the whole line up
