Bad, bad writing and the worldbuilding is astoundingly lazy. The logic behind how the future history unfolds is lacking and displays only a superficial understanding of how the world and cultures function. It tries to be Very Serious Science Fiction but it's just incredibly pretetious twaddle.

The 2d20 system is quite good, though, and the book has very high production values. Too bad it isn't more like Conan or Star Trek.
