Shadeheart's Thoughts:

[Rating: 1/10]
[Recommended? NO]

Uninspired, dull and lifeless, in what could have been a fun experience the Star Challenge series enters another unrecommendable title into its already unappealing set of titles with "The Exploding Suns". Devoid of both entertainment value and sheer spirit, blast away from this title far into the stars and don't feel the need to look back; you'll be missing nothing if you disregard this droning challenge to read through. ^^

(Mysteriously disappears into the shadows.)

Errata:In the British edition, section 28's second choice should lead to section 67 and not section 87.
Special Thanks:Thanks to Kevin Pachkowski for the American cover image and to Flurris for sharing some statistics and errata.
