I wondered when the Zhodani would come up. This is a textured cultural take on a small sliver of Zhodani society showing both the diversity that is possible in a society where there are no lies and all thoughts are transparent, while simultaneously showing the impossibility of such a society understanding a culture that dissembles, deceives, and lies.

Okay, so that's how you overthrow a galactic empire and establish your rule. Got it. Helpful information, just in case . . .

In what could be a sanitized, clinical exposition on the setting of the Traveller RPG, Marc Miller takes a different tack, posing questions about what one would do if one had uninhibited authority, including the ongoing questions about the needs of the many versus the needs of the few. The humanity here is never lost, with all the attendant good, evil, and indifference that this infers.

I'm glad I'm familiar with the Traveller universe. Yes, I could read this without it and still understand what's happening, but having been steeped in the lore for over 40 years now, I have a much clearer understanding of the impact of the events being portrayed here.

I bought a copy of this from Marc himself at my first Gary Con (X, I think it was). He pressed it into my hand after signing it and said something like "after you read it I'm curious what you think heaven is."Or maybe "...what you think about heaven." I remember it as kind of odd. Haha. I still haven't read it, but now that you posted this I have to pull it out and get it read this spring/summer.
I'm kind of ashamed that I didn't read it right away.

I'm curious how many people would read this first, then play the game, though. I've been playing since 1980, so . . .
