It's not just grammar and spelling, either. That's completely unacceptable from an established company like Mongoose. Whoever was nominally the editor of this book didn't even make a cursory pass with a spellchecker, and it shows. I'm willing to let some things slide as possibly British spellings (defence, offence, worshipped, armour, metre, etc), but I have my browser's spellchecker set to British and all of those are still showing up in red. This is all less than a quarter of the way through the book, and it doesn't get any better. "Cybernically" in place of cybernetically and "dischord" instead of discord. The hell is a "necronumnum"? Apparently a form of infectious zombie (more on those later). "Marines in battle dresses" is a slap in the face to those familiar with the best armor in Traveller, called battle dress. "Under its civilized veneer lays." is clearly wrong. Mispluralization of Vargr and Aslan to "Vargrs" and "Aslans". "phenomenona"? "mercanry"? Really? Jesus christ. Normally I would avoid double-posting in one day, but The People Must Know! I'm really quite dissatisfied (to put it mildly) with the product, even at that price. I picked up a copy of Supplement 9 - Campaign Guide during RPGNow's GM's Day sale at the beginning of March for 25% off.
