Reception
James Swallow reviewed Malicious Intent for Arcane magazine, rating it a 7 out of 10 overall.[1] Swallow comments that "It seems Stackpole had a list of all the important political happenings in 3058 and has shoe-horned them all into this book. What you get is a ringside seat at the return from the dead of the Wolf Clan, the Jade Falcon Clan's invasion toward Tharkad, ComStar's loss of Terra, the start of a grand House-wide alliance, and some interesting hints about future events, including a Clan/House pact cemented by lust and mutual interest. Epic."[1]
Malicious Intent was nominated for the 1996 Origins Award for Best Game-Related Fiction.[2]
