Feh.

Oh, don't take that the wrong way, the book had some cool stuff in it...info on the Ferrymen, the destruction of Enoch, Guildbook Mnemoi but it felt exactly like what it was: a choking hodgepodge of stuff shoved into one book to tie up some "loose ends" before White Wolf axes the game that has the most potential for characterization.

Yes, I know, it didn't sell worth crap, yes, I know no one ever played it, but couldn't they have afforded a decent editor/proofreader/whatever? I mean, Page XX's worm throughout the text like maggots in a dead cat and everything seems....rushed.

It's definitely not one of the better White Wolf books in general, nor one of the better Wraith books in specific (I point you towards the most excellent Wraith the Great War or the Shoah for examples of great Wraith books). There's nowhere nearly enough information on the destruction of Enoch (basically, they say "It's nuked, everyone's killed and the chambers with the Antedilluvians in them are empty, like they left or were never there to begin with).

HOWEVER, it has a saving grace. I can now come up with 1000 different directions for Wraith stories. Not that it matters, since no one really plays Wraith.
