Overall I liked this book, and I would buy the sequels (when written).
There aren't many Traveller novels out there, and now that Traveller 5
is out, I find I really want to read more Traveller fiction. There are
quite a few battle scenes, and sometimes you get the sense that
someone just had a bad, bad dice roll.
The interplay between the characters feels better written in the
beginning half of the book. In the first half I felt like the
characters had to make tough choices and were forced to fight.
In the second half, more new characters are introduced, and I started
to loose focus on them all. The story seemed to wander about too. In
the second half, the characters seemed more to choose to fight and I
wasn't really convinced about how intelligent those decisions were.
Also, I really would have liked to see a sector map, like in Paul
Brunette's The Death of Wisdom novel....

Great value for the money, overall.
Like all OSR themed products, it has some pretty capricious deadliness that only sadists afraid of high-level campaigns or player empowerment. Full disclosure, more of a Pathfinder home-rules kind of DM.
That isn't important though, what is important is it is a wonderful source for creation of an advanture, standa-alone rooms, treasures, challenges, and a classes of creatures that may be adapted to any OGL.
What would be sensational, and is a lot to ask from $5.00 Pdfs is some maps adaptable as images for virtual tabletops for the tactical types. Something like that, people like me would pay even more for.
As I said, I highly recommend it!
Cheers,
-Jeff...
