Summary: Worst Shadowrun novel
Review: It seems to be a trend in Shadowrun books to make the main character nigh invincible and Wolf and Raven is one of the worst at this. This book does not focus on a single plot, but a collection of idiotic stories. Join Wolf, an irritating adept with the wolf spirit living in his head(? ) and his buddy Raven, a bodybuilding Elf mage(yeah,okay) as they play professional baseball, battle a boat and help little homeless kids. Or don't, and save yourself 6 bucks.

Summary: A must for any fan of ShadowRun
Review: This book brings all of the fun and adventure of the previous books and games of ShadowRun together. The book is a series of adventures by the same characters similar to a role playing game itself. If you enjoy high adventure in a setting that the reader can believe and understand, then this book is for you.

Summary: Complete Shadowrun Experience
Review: This book is actually a set of short stories woven together as plot twists into one longer tale. These continuous arcs offer the reader exposure to every aspect of Shadowrun such as the return of magic, advances in technology, and cultural climate of Shadowrun's universe. Wolfgang Kies and Kid Stealth are two of the most memorable and well-developed characters in Shadowrun fiction. This book is so good, any fan of Sci-Fi Fantasy would enjoy; even readers totally unfamiliar to Shadowrun. If you ever wondered how the SOTA-elite-Delta-grade runners work and play, check out this novel.

Summary: My latest book.
Review: This book is not my first Shadow-run novel, and it'll not be my last, that much is sure. Great plot, cool way of telling the story in couple o'short stories, this book seems great, but the ending leaves a bad aftertaste in my Brain. Sure, nobody wants a totally happy ending in a Shadowrun book, that would'nt be right. But finishing this book makes me long for a sequel, probably because I'm a bit Lycantrophic myself, or because I really enjoyed this story around Wolf Kies and Lynn Ingold. Maybe the ending would've tasted better if SHE became a shadowrunner herself, but thats just he way it is...you still here? GO BUY THE DREADED BOOK ALREADY!

Summary: Disappointing
Review: This is the worst Shadowrun novel by far. Buy it and read it only if you are a Shadowrun fanatic like myself. It really is not a novel, but a collection of short stories, which I think the author states were written for a magazine before the Shadowrun game was even made. Even so, the stories, except for the first one, are very corny and if you have read and enjoyed other Shadowrun novels in the past, you will be left with a very bad taste in your mouth when you finish reading this book.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: This was easily the most disappointing Shawdowrun "novel" I've read. In fact, it's not a novel, it's an anthology prettied up to look like a novel for purely commercial reasons. (The author admits as much in an Afterward).Because the chapters aren't really linked, the book is more of a collection of gaming scenarios than a novel. The thing I like about the Shadownrun books in general is that they build towards revealing some deep dark secret at the center of a conspiracy of powerful evil forces. You're trying to figure it out yourself the whole time, just like a good mystery. This book has none of that. The stories are mostly just minor mysteries that are easily solved by Wolf and Co. blowing up everyone who gets in their way. Those who are really into Shadowrun gaming might feel differently about this book, but I didn't care for it much at all.
