Traveller novel with CT

[ghashsnaga]

Awhile back I came across a Traveller novel in a used bookstore but didn't pick it up. In the back of the book there was a condensed version of CT. Does anyone know what book this is or if there were more of them?

Thanks!

Year? What did the cover look like? Publisher?

I was trying to recall a couple weeks ago just where I'd seen those abbreviated rules myself. I came up dry on my search.

I wonder if it could have been in one of Jefferson Swycaffer's "Traveller inspired" books? Apparently there were a few:

Not In Our Stars, Avon Books, New York, USA, 1986.

Become the Hunted, Avon Books, New York, USA, 1985.

The Universal Prey, Avon Books, New York, USA, 1985.

The Praesidium of Archive, Avon Books, New York, USA, 1986.

The Empire's Legacy, New Infinities Productions Inc., 1988.

Voyage of the Planetslayer, New Infinities Productions Inc., 1988.

Revolt and Rebirth, New Infinities Productions Inc., 1988.

I saw most of them listed on Amazon before I got tired of looking, maybe the cover pics there will id the one you saw?

I think it was actually the novel (whose name and author have slipped me at the moment) which was released concurrent with T4.

So, it wasn't actually a condensed CT, it was a simple explanation of chargen for T4.

Gateway to the stars by Pierce Askegren

It had a simple char gen in the back and some explanation of the different stat numbers.

After having read the less than stellar reviews on Amazon, I'll likely skip this one. As I've always said, if you want a very strong CT feel, go with the Dumarest books by E. C. Tubb (starting with The Winds of Gath).

Cool. Thanks everyone. I'll go take a look at all those titles to see if one rings a bell.
