Guide to the Traveller New Era Novels

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Once Upon A Time:

   GDW Game Designers' Workshop started publication of a trilogy set in The New Era: three Traveller novels by Paul Brunette chronicling a ship and its crew in the chaos after the rebellion. It started with The Death of Wisdom, and continued with To Dream of Chaos, but GDW (like the Third Imperium) was embroiled in chaos, and closed it doors in 1996, without releasing the third novel.

Fast Forward:

  Ten years later, Marc Miller wanted to know how it ended. The manuscript for the original third novel was lost, so Marc teamed up with writer Matthew Carson to puzzle out the truth.

  They read and outlined the first two novels, and from that developed their own ideas of the story arc. Then they compared notes and outlined the third novel... a suitable ending to the stories that went before.

  Matthew then commenced writing, and over the course of two years produced a 300,000 word manuscript that tied up the loose ends and resolved the story line.

Who Would Have Imagined?

  That at that point, the original manuscript emerged from the secret archives of GDW! Now there were TWO manuscripts... the TNE trilogy had TWO endings: the original and the alternate. The work by Miller and Carson make the alternate ending the preferred climax to the series, but there is still the original manuscript to consider. Which one is better? Which one more faithfully carries the story line forward?

You Decide!

  Both are now available at DriveThruRPG.

Any chance of these ever being released in a MOBI or EPUB format? A PDF doesn't make for enjoyable fiction reading.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
