one book that is originally for THS but works for many games, between EP, shadowrun, CP 3.0, COPS (french rpg about special police officers). It's a total must have also the comic book prequel to Deus Ex Human Revolution (Wildstorm) and the Mass Effect comics mini-series. You could easily adapt Liara's quest for Shepard's body into an Eclipse Phase adventure where the players have to recover the dead morph of a Firewall agent who has vital information in his or her stack...and is probably a friend of the PCs. It's even more important if the previous owner of the morph is among the players, resleeved from a backup As for the setting, either Carnival of Goat would do, the scum habitat in the LLA Fresh Kills or maybe Qing Long the second miniseries tells the story of the Illusive Man, and could be adapted for a group of Sentinels investigating a cult of exhumans

I strongly recommend for EP use Toxic Memes. High Frontier is also a very good palliative treatment until the release of Panopticon :p novel wise, I just finished Deep Six (sequel to The Engines Of God). It would give nifty idea for GM who want to run a surviving themed Gatecrashing adventure. A groups of xenoarcheologists and hypercorporate employee are stranded on a planet that is about to crash in a rogue gaz giant, with no visible way to escape and the Pandora Gate on a nearby planet. EP-style videogame, there is Red Faction Armageddon already aviable, Deus Ex Human Revolution in less than two months, and further down the line Binary Domain and for a good inspiration for the Fall (hell, maybe even the reason why a good chunk of Illinois was -M nuked) Transformers 3. Honestly, it's a Bay movie but with several great moments in it, Great T.I.T.A.N.s visuals and the best freefall chase scenes, it'll give you idea for scenes on Venus Aerostats!

This brings us back to Eclipse Phase, and the question of just how much the prime instance of a transhuman can be blamed for the actions of one of their forks. :)

See, it's crap like that which makes the operating costs for people who have to deal with medical insurance companies ... well, skyrocket over time.

Toxic Memes is a MUST for THS as well as EP, Shadowrun and COPS (french anticipation rpg recently re-edited by Oriflam) It gives so many ideas for aventures and mission involving the Planetary Consortium's big shots like Experia or Cognite novel wise, I've recently read Omega, by McDevitt. Although it hasn't that much good reviews, I truly enjoyed it and it (as do the other books in the series) gives some nifty ideas for Gatecrashing themed adventures. The Academy is such a good inspiration for PathFinder, and the idea of discovering a technologially backwater but lovely looking extraterrestrial and endangered species would be a great theme for gatecrashing campaign, along with TITANs level nanotechnological Xthreat, menacing both transhumans and aliens what I like with McDevitt's books is the absence of battles, even though the cataclysmic danger is really present, and focus on the human elements. if you want to play a xenoarcheologist, you need to check that series! -Engines of God -Deep Six -Chindi -Omega -Odyssey -Cauldron
