International, including the US.
Thanks. Like I mentioned, the general feedback I've gotten on it was
rather negative; not internally consistent, appearance that the
writers went out of their way to be PC and include every ethnic group
as NPCs, the first world being marginalized, and the Vilani having
the feel of a bunch of buffoons were three that come readily to mind
about the new content, and the lack of mileu specific equipment
descriptions for nuts and bolts.
I *really* wanted to like the book. The IW era is one that appeals
to me as it puts the characters on the sharp end of discovery, but it
seemed that as it was poised for greatness, the writing team decided
to change course and make it just another merchant campaign set
against the backdrop of the war or pseudo peace.
