4 + 4C.W.Richeson. In this well written supplement for Hollow Earth Expedition you'll find an incredible number of interesting ideas and rules additions, but not a lot of focus on any one topic.
5 + 5Dan Davenport. Hollow Earth Expedition takes the action topside with psychic powers, magic, mad science, forbidden knowledge, and the secret societies that have it or want it. Throw in a load of new Talents and equipment, and you've got a heck of a sourcebook.
