Mongoose Traveller: Secret of the Ancients 2nd is a Mongoose Publishing campaign source book written for Mongoose Traveller.

A complete campaign of truly epic proportions, Secrets of the Ancients takes a core theme from the original Traveller, and fully updates it to reveal the powers behind the galaxy in a way you have never seen them before. Never has a Traveller book truly been loaded with such secrets.

Written by Gareth Hanrahan, Secrets of the Ancients will start the players off in a familiar setting within the Spinward Marches, but quickly escalate to take them into times, places, and dimensions they barely dreamed of. This is Traveller roleplaying at its very best.

This was originally released as a free campaign in a series of chapters as Mongoose Traveller: Secret of the Ancients and has been republished as Mongoose 2nd: Secrets of the Ancients.
