Reception
[edit]William A. Barton reviewed The Trail of the Sky Raiders in The Space Gamer No. 56.[1] Barton commented that "Overall, Trail of the Sky Raiders looks to be one of the better Traveller adventures published yet this year by anyone. Chalk up another success for the Keith brothers and for FASA."[1]
Bob McWilliams reviewed The Trail of the Sky Raiders for White Dwarf #39, giving it an overall rating of 8 out of 10, and stated that "Trail continues in much the same vein as [The Legend of the Sky Raiders], with much Indiana Jones type mixing with murky characters, fights, escapes and general mayhem."[3]
In a retrospective review of The Trail of the Sky Raiders in Black Gate, Patrick Kanouse said "The Sky Raiders trilogy is a classic Traveller adventure that highlights much of the joy of this game: exploration, problem-solving, random encounters, adventure, and the occasional fight. The Keith brothers delivered an excellent ode to Indiana Jones and crafted a playable, exciting adventure in the far future."[4]
