Background Information
Aberrant: Underworld was released only as an eBook; it was the last book officially released for Aberrant. Because it was never printed, and thus never released to retailers, it was not given a White Wolf product code.

The book is broken into chapters, each of which contains both colour in-character and black and white out-of-character material on its subject. This is because it covers multiple organisations, whereas the other Aberrant faction books - Exposé: Aberrants, Aberrant: Project Utopia, Aberrant: Teragen and Aberrant: The Directive - only covered one.

The original eBook contains a much larger number of typographical errors than usual for a White Wolf book.
