'''''Counterattack''''' (subtitle: '''''BattleCorps Anthology Volume 5''''') is a print anthology of 12 short stories previously published via [[BattleCorps]] throughout 2008, plus one previously unpublished story (''[[High-Value Target]]''). As usual, it also includes a foreword ("Forward") and an "About the Authors" section.

== From the Back Cover ==
{{quote|''A [[Star League]] [[Gunslinger Program|Gunslinger]] fights against overwhelming odds during a rebellion. A dauntless warrior faces his most painful trial yet, far from home and all but alone. Mercenaries, betrayed from within, lash out at all who threaten them. And the Word of Blake, always present, plots and schemes and maneuvers allies against each other.''

''Thirteen stories of combat, honor, betrayal and death fill the pages of'' Counterattack: BattleCorps Anthology Volume 5.''

''Savvy readers will recognize now-familiar names in ''BattleTech'' lore among the authors: [[Steven Mohan Jr.]], [[Kevin Killiany]], [[Phaedra M. Weldon|Phaedra Weldon]], [[Jason Schmetzer]], [[Jason M. Hardy|Jason Hardy]] and [[Blaine Lee Pardoe]]. These writers have shaped the direction of the'' BattleTech ''universe. In 2008, with these stories, they took the fictional storylines of the'' BattleTech ''universe and fought back. They told the stories that demonstrated the indomitable will that has carried'' BattleTech ''readers across more than 25 years of publication.''}}
