Reception

William A. Barton reviewed Fate of the Sky Raiders in The Space Gamer No. 60.^[1] Barton commented that "even though Trail remains my personal favorite of the trilogy, Fate of the Sky Raiders is a thorough piece of work and should satisfy most referees and players as a fitting conclusion to the saga of the Sky Raiders."^[1]

Tony Watson reviewed Fate of the Sky Raiders for Different Worlds magazine and stated that "Despite [its] errors, Fate of the Sky Raiders is a good adventure, and that is the main consideration. Those Traveller players who have come this far with the 'Sky Raiders' epic will not be disappointed with its final chapter."^[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]
