I recieved my copy yesterday, in Finland.  I consider that a pretty swift turnaround, and i ought
to also comment on how well it was packaged.  Those damn packing thingies inside though, there
had to be a 5 minute period of trying to get them off the book and my fingers :D

This might well be one of my favourite background books thus far, i especially liked the fact that i did
not see any older art recycled.  All new art within, does make you feel you're reading something new.

The Davion in me was left very satisfied, i felt that section really captured the Fed Suns and how the Jihad
and FCCW had shaped it.  Oh and special praise for the Lyran section, i thought the writing of that was
both amusing and very much in character for the faction.

Up there with the FCCWHB in my humble opinion, quality work there.   Now hurry up with the historical stuff,
(which i don't care about) so i can see what happens next eh.

Got the book, really impressed. In fact i'm not only impressed I'm amazed at this work of art. I hate to say it, but how are you going to top this?

Got my print copy at the local FLGS recently; it's an excellent piece of work, highly recommended.

You start EVERYTHING with whipped cream.....you're the only reason why the Whipped cream industry exists!  :P

BACK to the FM -- very nicely done and as soon as I get a DT copy, I will enjoy it even more....

Picked up my copy on Saturday at our monthly game w/ Joel.

LOVE how they did the new RAT tables,   O0
Seriously great job there.

Also loved the maps in the middle,  well done,  I like these too.


Still reading through the massive amount of text but thought I'd give those 2 kuddos right away!
