To the very best of my knowledge this is correct. I own 1 and 2 in print and all 4 electronically but I'm pretty certain 3 and 4 were never published in print. Sadly.

They're all some of the most readable (in the sense of cover-to-cover) Traveller books that exist. (Although if they have any fault its a lack of illustrations other than maps). Very little 'rules' but lots of background. They also gave me a sense if closure about TNE that i really appreciated. And as has been said they are much more positive than the darkness of Virus and are a fitting 'end' to the Traveller timeline.

The Traveller 1248 Sourcebooks in hardcopy are quite rare. So far as I know, only Sourcebook #1 ("Out of the Darkness") and #2 ('Bearers of the Flame") made it to hardcopy. I picked up #2 when they came out, and only recently snagged #1 in a lot on eBay for a reasonable price, after watching for several years.

#3 ("Spinward States") and #4 ("Freedom Leagues") never made it to print (again, so far as I know), but were available (along with #1 and #2) as PDFs for purchase from ComLink before the license expired.

All four are currently available on from Far Future Enterprise (Marc Miller's publishing entity) on Traveller: The New Era CD-ROM #2 (http://farfuture.net/FFE-CDROMs.html).

Hello Phil Pugliese and TML members,

Oops, I appear to have made another error the title being

discussed is Traveller 1248 Sourcebook  2 "Bearers" of the Flame

Which is not TNE GDW 0314The Regency Sourcebook: "Keepers" of the Flame

Regency Manual 1.

I am not doing to well and my apologies for repeatedly being out to lunch.

The only copy of Traveller 1248 Sourcebook  2 Bearers of the Flame I've

found is the one or ones ranging between $1,000 and $4,000.

My apologies for not getting the information right.

Dear Folks –

2 Bearers of the Flame is for Traveller
2k… No, it’s Martin’s take on
What Happened Next after TNE. Covers the opening of the
Black Curtain around Capital, the war against the Viruses
and K’kree, the effects of the Empress Wave, and the
beginnings of the Fourth Imperium (the suggested gaming area
for Our Heroes in 1248).

Sounds interesting.

Anyone read it?

Anyone know where it might be found for a reasonable price?
