The Battletech: Warrior series by Michael A. Stackpole is a twelve-entry run covering the core Warrior trilogy novels — En Garde (1988), Riposte (1988), and Coupe (1989) — alongside multiple issues of BattleTech: Shrapnel that accompanied the novels. The three named novels form a tight narrative arc, while the Shrapnel issues provide supporting short fiction from the same period.
En Garde, Riposte, and Coupe are the central texts here, and reading them in that order gives you the complete Warrior storyline. The Shrapnel issues interspersed throughout the list are companion material for readers who want the full context around each novel.
