3.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable introduction to new series., 24 Oct 2006
By Shawn Watson "God of Gods" (Badger's Brook, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am always on the lookout for new franchises to get involved in and Shadowrun caught me by surprise as I was about to exit my fave Sci-Fi shop empty-handed. I had never heard of it before and I thought it had a really cool cover, so I decided to check it out.

Set in the future, when America and Canada have been divided up into smaller nations and magic have come back into the world. Humans now live alongside trolls, goblins and elves and MegaCorporations run the world. Industrial Espionage is rife and the people who make money living in the shadows of these companies are the shadowrunners. Using their magical powers as an edge to get things done.

The main character of Kellan Kolt is fairly new to the Shadowrun scene, so as she learns the basics, the reader does too. Which I thought was a nice way to introduce people who are unfamiliar with the franchise to the Shadowrun universe. There is not a huge amount of techno-jargon or complicated lingo, though I do suspect that this sort of stuff will appear in later books.

The Shadowrun series has been around for about 10 or so years and there are already dozens of books before this. But I believe this is a reboot of the franchise or a brand new splinter story arc. Either way, I will be reading more.
