A really beautiful product and as a Traveller fan since the CT days, this is probably one of the finest products I have seen put out for the game. The books are nicely organized with Book 1 featuring the bulk of the campaign, including 10 adventures that you can conduct in any order you like (minus "Finale," which based on its namesake, you can imagine must come last), Book 2 featuring the Trojan Reach sector and the Aslan, and Book 3 featuring the ships of the Trojan Reach. All three give an aspiring referee all she or he would need to run a really engaging and exciting campaign in which the players get to be what so many have dreamed: space pirates!
The art is mostly of high quality and the tech, animals, starship deck plans, and other supporting materials are both nicely arranged and useful. I haven't run the entire campaign yet, but the players seem to be having a blast so far. I have read all the adventures and they are mostly excellent with a few that stand out head and shoulders above the rest.
I would give this item 4 1/2 stars if I could. The only drawback is a number of typos and inconsistencies that crept through the editing process, though Mongoose did allow the community to provide comments between the initial release of the PDFs and the print copies.
