Have to disagree with the idea of Cthulhu Rising being good for a CoC setting. I do own it but honestly think it's either too shiny and gleaming, too hi tech or too like 2300AD.
It feels like a hard sci-fi game rather than cthulhu. It is a good book though but would, I think, suit BRP as a setting book with the sci-fi setting promoted and the cthulhu element removed ... providing it could withstand it's extreme similarity to 2300AD. I totally agree with the 'aliens over lovecraft' comment.
A small caveat to what I'm saying here as I'm releasing my own monograph soon..

Our setting is Cthulhu investigations against a dark fascist backdrop called the Polity. See here for comments: http://www.yog-sothoth.com/modules.p...wtopic&t=10554
