Summary: Good for gamers, poor for Romulan fans
Comment: While it is true that it is impossible to reconcile this version of the romulans with the two previous glimpses, I must say that this version is by far my favorite. The only complaint I have is the art work. For the price, I was expecting stills from the series on glossy paper; instead, I found poorly drawn black and white (green and white actually) on plain ordinary paper. There are three books in this box set, and two full color posters the first being a map of romulan space, and the second depicting romulan uniforms and starships in full color.
The first book details romulan life and culture. The Way of D'era, the romulan philosophy is interesting. We are also shown how the empire functions, its history, the structure of the Romulan star navy. There is a section on the various worlds which can be explored in Romulan space as well as Romulus and Remus.
The second book gives rules for creating romulan characters, as well as guidlines for running an all romulan campaign. There are new traits and skills presented which are romulan specific. The most interesting section is scions of the empire. This section gives stats and descriptions of the movers and shakers of the empire. Included is Senator Kassus, a character whose shadow is felt in the LUG product "A Fragile Peace".
The third book includes two adventures. The first "The Gentera Incident" is an adventure for an all romulan cast. The second, "Duty or Conscience" is an adventure for a cast of starfleet characters. The first is a fairly well written adventure, the second deals with the Prime Directive and is fairly well done.
All in all, if you want to add depth to your star trek campaign, this is a good product. If, however, you are a fan looking for further information on Romulans, stay away.

Summary: A nice view of the Romulan Empire
Comment: I got this book a week ago, and I must say that this view of the Empire is fantastic. The depth of details is awesome. I like the military setting in particular. The whole conception of a militarized society, living for a common dream: reaching D'era (the Endless Sky) as the goal set from Vulcan times and fulfilled since the diaspora.
The art is somewhat lacking, but it's heavily compensated with the adventures and the detail in Romulan character creation, rounded up as any Starfleet officer.
Rating: 5
Summary: A must for any Romulan fan!
Comment: Well, I must say I waited a long time for this set, and it wsa worth the wait. Granted, the pictures weren't the best ever assembled. But I didn't buy it for the pics. I bought it for info on the Romulans for the Star Trek RPG. And this is a great source for it. If you are looking for a great source to add Romulans into your Star Trek game, then this book is a must buy. You won't be disappointed(just don't get your hopes up for awesome artwork).
