Pan Pacifica sourcebook extended review

I was conflicted over whether to give this a 4 or 5 rating and the only reason for the "4" rating is somewhat unfair.. the torg eternity writers raised the bar so high with the outstanding Orrosh and Living Land sourcebooks (which you should absolutely purchase and read if you haven't already) that I feel like I'd be saying Pan Pacifica is as good as the two aforementioned titles if I gave it a "5" rating... but if it wasn't for that this would get a "5"... maybe I should say a 4.5 rating?
