Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a definite must-read for fans for Shadowrun and M. Stackpole
Review: although the storylines in this book don't relate any major change in the Shadowrun-universe, the characters are incredibly well-developed and draw the reader into the plot - as usual, M. Stackpole's talents will motivate readers to finish the book, no matter how late they have to stay out of bed to complete it - even for those not that familiar with Shadowrun, these stories are a definite must-read

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent story, awesome characters.
Review: Another smash by Mr. Stackpole. I enjoyed the first person story line, and Wolf is the man! It came together nicely at the end. Only complaint is on the back it leads you to believe the preview on the back is the story, where as its only a small part.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very good book, I enjoyed it very much.
Review: As shadowrun books go this was one of the best I've read since the first trilogy. Although a full novel would have been better then an anthology, the stories were very intresting.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Warning!!! May cause immediate gratification...
Review: Easily one of the best rags I EVER scanned... Once you open the cover and scan the first page chummer, you won't be able to set it down 'til you read the whole fraggin' thing

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The very best Shadowrun novel I've read
Review: I don't know what the one-star guy was on when he read the book. Maybe he just hates Shadowrun. I've read perhaps 20 Shadowrun novels, and of those, this is the best. In fact, not only is it one of my favorite Shadowrun books, it's one of my favorite books, period. The entire Raven team is great, and I eagerly await any more adventures the author may pen in the future. Go with the majority this time. This once, they're right.

Summary: An Excellent Read
Review: I have always been a big fan of the Wolf & Raven stories ever since they were run in the magazines. This is an anthology, and not a novel, but that has its advantages. The action is quick, and there is a lot of humor. The plot does not really build like in most novels, but the author gives a lot of emphasis on the basics of surviving in the shadows. This novel has improved my SR games dramatically. It is an exciting and entertaining book to the end.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What every Shadowrun Campaign should be...
Review: I will preface by saying that I am a HUGE Mike Stackpole fan... and this book is why. Way back in 'the day' many of these stories appeared in the late-lamented mouthpeice of GDW.. a magazine called Challenge. I picked up every issue in hopes that I would get a new story about Wolf.

This anthology collect those stories and more into a chronological set of case studies by Dr. Raven's number ONE aide (ala Doc Savage) Wolfgang Keis... The stories have a lusterous pulp-novel field set in the high-tech magic of Shadowrun... each one carries a sense of wonder and amazement and overflows with likeable characters that set you to cheering in every installment...

In the words of Oliver... "More please?"

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Worst Shadowrun novel
Review: I've been playing SR since 1st Ed. and reading the novels almost as long, and Wolf and Raven is definatly one of the best. I'm not a big fan of shamans in general, but Wolf was absolutly great. All of the characters were engaging and evolved as the stories progressed. I for one can't wait for more adventures from Wolf, Doc Raven and the rest of his group of aides.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: THIS is Shadowrun at it's finest
Review: If you want to play Shadowrun, read this book first. THIS is what every runnerteam should strive for.

As always, Stackpole gets the essence of the universe he is stepping into without being in your face about it, and then putting realistic people into it. If for nothing else, read it for Kid Stealth's sense of humor. :)
