Reception

Nick Davison reviewed Operation: Fastpass for Imagine magazine and stated that "Overall [...] an interesting scenario for players and GMs alike." [2]

Kevin Allen reviewed Operation: Fastpass in Space Gamer No. 70. [1] Allen commented that "This is the best, and closest to the genre, of the Top Secret modules yet. It's comprehensive and flexible, and a great challenge for any would-be superspy. One personal comment: I wouldn't take novice agents into this one; a minimum of second or third level, with several missions under the belt, should be required." [1]
