The Gray Death saga was my first SF series ... the ongoing history of a mercenary unit in FASA's BattleTech universe. The first three were originally published by FASA back in the mid-1980s, then reprinted by Roc in '92 and '93. The next three were written more recently for Roc. I'm constantly amazed by the popularity of these, and at conventions I'm often asked about them as much as or more than I am about more recent works. Tactics of Duty won the 1995 Award for Best Game-Related Fiction at the Origins game convention. Decision at Thunder Rift has been published in German and Russian; Operation Excalubur and The Price of Glory have been reprinted in German.

Blood of Heroes was written with my brother, J. Andrew Keith.

I also wrote a couple of BattleTech short stories, and worked on the original BattleTech RPG.
