Title: Worthless even for background
Review: As a huge fan of both GURPS and Alpha Centari I was really looking forward to this book. I was hoping it would flesh out the world a bit and set up some nice political intrigue. Unfortunately I found the book lacking on all counts. If you've played Alpha Centauri and have the expansion set then you already have all the information you need to set up a great GURPS Alpha Centauri game. If you have the hint book, then you have everything provided in the GURPS book and more. NOTHING is elaborated on and therefore in my opinion nothing is gained in buying this book. Perhaps SJG was bound by contract not to elaborate on anything, and we have Firaxis to blame for this debacle. It's too bad, because this book could have been great, instead of the plagiarized garbage it turned out to be. Don't waste your money.
