     I was fortunae enough to walk into my favorite gaming store (in
Indianapolis, there are two) on the same day it arrived, so I had my
copy in my hands last Friday.  I've read about half of the Solomani
section so far, and skimmed the Aslan section, and it certainly
stands up to the high standards that I've come to expect from DGP.
Wow, Aslan deck plans...  ;-)

     It does lead to a question, though, in view of the impending
changes in the Traveller universe.  In the introduction, the next
three volumes in the MegaTraveller Alien series are named.

     Will these books be published?  Will DGP divert all its resources
away from MegaTraveller and leave this series hanging?

     Personally, I hope not, since I want to have the entire series.
These books are so good that they're worth buying just to *read*, let
alone use in gaming.  That's just my opinion, of course, but that was
what I felt about the original three-book Traveller set and got me
started on this merry-go-round in the first place.  ;-)

 >Now I need to come up with a good nickname for it.....

     "Lamers and Lions?"  ;-)  Sorry, but I don't much like the
Solomani.  ;-)
