The TNE Novels. GDW commissioned a novel trilogy in support of Traveller The New Era, and published two of the three before they closed their doors in 1996. Regretably, the third novel lay forgotten and unpublished in the GDW archives for more than fifteen years. In that time, Traveller designer Marc Miller searched for a conclusion to the story arc. Ultimately, he teamed up with writer Matthew Carson to create from whole cloth a new final novel.
The Backwards Mask TNE Trilogy Book 3 eBook Matthew Carson
The Backwards Mask is the third of the Traveller New Era (TNE) trilogy that got started *way* back in the 1990's. The TNE trilogy stopped at two books when the publisher (GDW) went out of business, and many Traveller fans never got a chance to even read the first two books as they quickly went out of print. If the first two books were as good as The Backward Mask, we really missed a treat!Yes, I felt like I was coming in on the middle of a story, but the author's use of flashbacks and exposition quickly brought me up to speed and then we were off! Off on a fast paced excursion through Science Fiction, Traveller style!.
I can't recommend The Backward Mask highly enough. If there was a way to give it SIX STARS, I would, but seeing as I can't, I'll just say....Get this book! If you are a Traveller fan You won't be disappointed.

The Backwards Mask TNE Trilogy Book 3 eBook Matthew Carson Reviews
I really enjoyed it.
The Trilogy finishes off with quite a bang, though not entirely flawlessly. Traveller universe, albeit the TNE flavor of it, comes to life along fleshed out characters, dastardly treason and fascinating political conflict. Recommended for any Traveller fan and anyone interested in decent SciFi.
Definitely a great read. The storyline keeps you interested all the way to the end, and the action is top notch without being over the top. I haven't read the first two in the series, this was stand alone great. Hard to put down once you start!
This book was recommended by a friend knowing I love to read, but am not a fan of space thrillers. I downloaded on my PC and slowly moved through chapters one and two learning the background of events and characters from the first two books of the trilogy which I had not read. By then I was "caught" never slowing down as I became more and more involved in the plot.
Matthew Carson has a gift for words creating action packed scenes with intriguing characters operating dynamic futuristic machinery and weapons. You won't be disappointed with this read!

An excellent conclusion to a trilogy, the first two volumes of which were published in 1995! If you've read those, or if you're a fan of the Traveller games, this is a must-read book. If that doesn't include you, you may find this to a rather routine sci-fi story, although one that's definitely worth its modest price as an e-book.
The Backwards Mask is a smart, fun story that blends all that's great about settings like Traveller. I can't overemphasize how much fun I had reading this book. Did I say fun? The pacing and suspense of the action scenes are masterfully executed (and the book is 75% action). The book was almost impossible to put down at times. The cast of characters are so well-crafted that they will stick with you long after you set down the book. Author Matthew Carson writes with authority at every layer, not only of characters and action, but of technology and the setting's rich history. All this beautiful story development brings the book to one final, sprawling, blood-thrilling climactic battle, which alone was worth the price of admission.
I enjoyed the book overall, though TNE has to be one of my least favorite Traveller settings.
PROS
1) Great storyline
2) Decent pacing
3) Nice balance of sub plots
CONS
1) Cheesy names were at times a distraction
2) Overall it did seem to drag on a bit, not sure all the mini-adventures en route were necessary, but they did cause it to feel like a Traveller campaign, so perhaps this was intentional
3) Wish they had chosen another setting. Would love to see one or more Traveller novels set in Hard Times...
All in all a worthwhile read I have no reservations in recommending to Traveller fans.
