Summary: A decent North America update for 3rd edition
Review: Shadows of North America is essentially the 3rd edition replacement for most of the 1st and 2nd edition books that covered North America in the past. It follows the 3rd edition trend of less artwork, multiple authors, and a short rules section in the back. While Shadows of North America will never be able to completely replace the information that gave you a "feel" for the locations, it does a good job of updating and consolidating necessary information for North America. Also, having one book for a current reference for the continent will be much easier for players and game masters, if not as entertaining as books like Target: UCAS.The book covers the following regions: The Algonkian-Manitou Council, The Athabaskan Council, California Free State, Confederation of American States (CAS), Denver, the Pueblo Corporate Council, the Republic of Quebec, the Salish-Shidhe Council, the Sioux Nation, Tir Tairngire, Tsimshian, the United Canadian and American States (UCAS), and the UTE Nation. The book also (thankfully) includes decker inserted shadowtalk which livens things up quite a bit. At 207 pages it includes pretty much everything you need to know. The one dissapointing (but perhaps understandable) omission in the book was Atzlan. If you find yourself very intriuged by any of the nations in this book you might want to pick up the earlier edition books that cover them more completely.
