This review is from: Arrival (Buck Rogers Books) (Paperback)

An anthology of stories that appears to be designed to function as a background to the particular Buck Rogers setting that TSR etc. were using.

The only actual Buck Rogers appearance while mobile is at the beginning, in the past, whereas others are characters in the two factions in conflict in the future time.

A reasonable amount of the rest of the plots centre around the recovery of the newly discovered body of said Mr. Rogers.
