Quality Shadowrun

Ignore naysayers. This was one of the best shadowrun books I've ever read.
One of the best!

I must say I enjoyed this book more than any other novel of series. It's well written, intelligent, serious, and to a certain degre, more realistic (M. Odom has done quiet a good job creating a complex plot, while transposing the Shadowrun's world on top in a credible and detailed way) than what I have seen from others. Sure for some this may be lacking in the emotional departement and his characters may seem too cold, but that's what we are suppose to like in the universe of Shadowrun. Personally, I think emotions should be a bit restraint in a Shadowrun novel. Face it, if every time skater kills someone, he's suppose to weep...

I enjoyed this book quite a bit compared to most of the books that have come from FASA. I appreciated that level of ingenuity and realism (for the genre) in the novel, especially compared to The Dragonheart Saga (which was good, but...). Definitely worth five stars. I just wish I could say the same for Odom's latest Shadowrun book.
Awesome!!

This story is a bad a** story. A story that would rival the "Dragon Heart" saga.
Near Perfect!

This book is the closest thing I've read to a perfect Shadowrun novel. It has nearly everything that a shadowrun adventure should have ( a chase sequence, magic, kidnapping, mystery, data theft, gunfights, etc...) and it's written very well. There is even a surprise 'celebrity appearence' later on the story.
