Having just gotten this for my Beloved Spouse (Kobold chorus: "We love you!") for her birthday, I can not say enough good things about this book. It really is the omnibus of all the collected books, and is an essential for all Traveller fans and anyone wanting a good solid Science Fiction game.
This was the first science fiction RPG I ever got to play, and it was fantastic. Character creation is involved, the extra books, Mercenary being our personal favorite, made for a much more enjoyable game.
