Shadowboxer (Shadowrun , No 25)

Rating:
Summary: SF/Fantasy/Military/Action.
Review: Set in the Shadrun universe, SHADOWBOXER is a tale of betrayal, inner courage and a mega-corporation that went one step too far trying to make a fast profit. Also check my other novels: ILLEGAL ALIENS, BUREAU13, DOOMSDAY EXAM, FULL MOONSTERS, and look under my pseudonyom: 'Jack Hopkins' Coming next year all three of the BUREAU 13 novels will be reprinted, along with the brand new Bureau 13 novel, THAT DARN SQUID GOD, by myself and Phil Foglio.

Rating:
Summary: One of a kind.

Summary: Author should have read the canon material.
Review: This is well known to be one of the worst Shadowrun novels written to date. There are a lot of side stories that are never explained, the introduction character has absolutely nothing to do with the story later on. In many cases he simply ignored what has been written about Shadowrun but in the novels and in the role-playing game. Part of his introduction hook was to give pity to a dwarf that used to be human but goblinized. In the canon material for Shadowrun that didn't happen to dwarves and elves, only to trolls and orks. The ending of the book just feels completely wrong as well. More or less everybody loses but they all seem content with that. Only reason I'd suggest reading this is to see what not to do.
