Plot summary

Publication history

[edit]

Fate of the Sky Raiders was written by J. Andrew Keith and William H. Keith Jr. and was published in 1982 by FASA as a digest-sized 60-page book with a two-color map.[2]

Reception

[edit]

William A. Barton reviewed Fate of the Sky Raiders in The Space Gamer No. 60.[1] Barton commented that "even though Trail remains my personal favorite of the trilogy, Fate of the Sky Raiders is a thorough piece of work and should satisfy most referees and players as a fitting conclusion to the saga of the Sky Raiders."[1]

In a retrospective review of The Trail of the Sky Raiders in Black Gate, Patrick Kanouse said "The Sky Raiders trilogy is a classic Traveller adventure that highlights much of the joy of this game: exploration, problem-solving, random encounters, adventure, and the occasional fight. The Keith brothers delivered an excellent ode to Indiana Jones and crafted a playable, exciting adventure in the far future."[3]
