You also have to consider that even the Bug City sourcebook (my favorite SR
product) is now out-of-print (or it's supposed to be). Times change and
things move on. Queen Euphoria and Double Exposure remain as nice little
insect-based adventures, but the grand bug plot is over. Why they had UB's
print run cancelled BEFORE Target:UCAS, I don't know. Go figure.
The Universal Brotherhood module is one of the sweetest
adventures/sourcebooks out there, though, so it's worth hunting down. It has
this odd sleeve packaging to hold the adventure and sourcebook, and that
tends to get ripped up. Personally, if I were FASA, I would have put the
books into a thin sliding box-jacket combo for a longer lifespan. And then
there's the Unleash Your Inner Abilities book (which is the sourcebook half)
and it's a flip-up instead of flip-out style, which just heightens the oddity
of the package. I think FASA styled it this way to subconsciously effect the
readers with the alien nature of the insect totems.
