I liked the Shemarian nation book

Let me say my one bad thing about it first-
It did at times seem to say the same things repeatedly.
But....
Over all it was a fun book. I know people love the pages of new gear and weapons in every rifts book, but I was glad to see that this was kept to a reasonable minimum. I liked the varieties of new Shemarians and the distinct styles of various regional tribes. The art was cool (though sadly no Perez), in particular the Shemarian berserker ravaging the slave barge. Also the quick and efficient stat blocks on various Shemarian squads was both utilitarian and useful story wise. These new rifts books have been great (Madhaven, dinosaur swamps, etc.), gritty, fun and no power creep. I love A.R.C.H.I.E.-3 so anything on him is always good.
KS, please let these new guys keep doing these great books!
