Pierce Askegren (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 1998 | Series: Traveller

Navis Redling is resuming his career as an independent shipper and courier after a year in detox-except it isn't really Navis Redling, but rather a fugitive who has bought Redling's identity -- including plastic surgery, implanted memories, and Redling's ship.

When this mysterious impostor runs into Redling's old enemies, he finds out why this troublesome identity was available in the first place. And, when Kob Thommus, an undercover agent, and Ku-Ril-La, a member of the enigmatic Guy-Troy suddenly appear, he realizes he's in for far more than a simple trip through Redling's old stomping grounds.
-- Value added! Free exclusive new Traveller "RM" module included in the book!
-- In the tradition of the immensely popular novels based on Dungeons & Dragons, Magic: The Gathering, and Robotech!

Gateway is one fo the best novels based on a role-playing game. It is well written, true to the Traveller universe, has good characters, and a highly exciting plot. Unfortuanately, it is very much the first book of an -ilogy that will never be completed, since Imperium Games, the owners of the Ttraveller franchise ar now out of business.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good story, but could be better, September 17, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Marc Millers Traveller Gateway to the Stars (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is a fair beginning to what I hope will be a series of novels based on the Traveller's Universe. The story adheres very close to the role-playing game's setting and texture. As a long time fan of Travellers, I liked the plot although the editing mistakes at times are a bit distracting. The story moves at a good pace, but is slow in some places due to wordy dialogues and for readers who are familiar with Travellers' jargons will find the pre-requisite explanation to non-Traveller readers a bit redundant. Overall, a good first attempt.

3.0 out of 5 stars Dont be so negative, February 9, 1999

I have to say that this book may not fit tightly into the RPG know as traveller and yes there are mistakes in it. However I found this book to be very good, although the ending is disapointing I cant wait for the next book. I have never played Traveller even though I have a copy of T4 but if the Author/Editors where all hard core Players then they would not have time to write a book. So got easy.
