The artwork is, as usual, fantastic with Free League produced content. The scenario seems “fine”. It's not particularly evocative of Arabian Nights In Space that Coriolis is supposed to be going for but fits the bill for a generic starter scenario adapted to this system. I think some people will like it but it’s not my cup of tea, unfortunately.

It drives me nuts that they bill the scenario as free play, unguided scenario, and that you can arrange the scenes how you like, as literally when you follow the parts where it shows exactly what the players should take away from this scene and where to go next. It makes little sense if not progressed in a linear manner because of that. The fact that they can wander around before getting to these checkpoints that drive them to next sequence doesn't mean it's not a railroad.

I read it to see if I wanted to run it before Emissary Lost but decided not to. I don't think it adds much to the main campaign, which is, while still quite a railroad, more interesting than this--with a more interesting aesthetic and premise.
