Attack Squadron: Roswell

ADD TO WISHLIST >

“There is a war going on and you are part of it. Alien invaders are entering our skies with sinister intent and it is the job of the United States Air Force to protect this nation and its people. In the skies over New Mexico, California, Texas and by God even Washington DC, you chase down and destroy the alien flying saucers. Yes, their technology is superior to ours and their craft utilise unknown engines of some type - yet our fighters, flown by the best of the best, can match their vectors and make an intercept should the situation fall in our favour.

This is a secret war. Sure, there are folks all over America calling into the news stations with reports of flying saucers and UFOs, but we have experts ready to explain away their sightings as weather balloons or atmospheric phenomenon. All those who need to know about the alien invasion already know, and we must keep it that way. Your knowledge of the invaders is precious, few have seen a saucer, fewer still have been head-to-head in a dog-fight with one and so from time to time the Air Force will call on you to investigate sightings, landings and encounters. The Joint Chiefs believe that the invaders have landed agents amongst the population, saboteurs and Fifth Columnists who are even now attacking the soft under-belly of our nation. You men, you pilots of the 93rd Fighter-Interceptor Squadron, are the perfect weapon against these saboteurs. In the air and on the ground, your president expects you to meet and defeat these alien invaders ... before they annihilate us and our American Way of Life. Good Luck.”

RICHARD M. NIXON

Vice President of the United States of America, Feb 6, 1953

Does this only work with Traveller specifically or does it work with Cepheus Engine as well?

Would it be easy to stat the AVRO Arrow? Are there mysteries to solve?

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
