Shadowrun Novels Germany #42

by Stephen Kenson

Digging For Danger In the twenty-first century, magic brings out the best in people - and the worst. Tommy Talon should know. As head of a successful shadow-running team, it's the dark side of people that brings him business. This time he's hired to hunt a murderous archaeologist and and recover a magical relic. But Talon's not hunting alone. Someone else wants the artifact too - someone very powerful. And Talon and his team must outwit the world's most potent megacorporation on its own turf if they're to have any chance of returning the treasure - or any chance of returning at all...

Reviews

[Matthew Reads Junk]

Pretty much utter garbage. Very thin plot and characters even for a series novel. The world of shadowrun is so rich and interesting, but writer's never do anything with it but tell generic action/fantasy stories.
It's just a thriller/action plot that simply happens to have orcs, light magic and bad cyberpunk references in it.

I am not familiar with the game, but the book was given to me by a friend, after he found out I like stories about magic and I feel better about them if they happen in the future. I liked it a lot and will make sure to check the rest of the series, as it seems to be quite enjoyable.

While not my favorite tale of Talon, this remains one of the most fun of his adventures.

[Tom]

I enjoy reading about dragons, magic, a lot of money, and guns. A little bit of cyberware makes for an interesting mage.

[Matt]

I can't stop buying Kenson Books. I really enjoy reading about talon and his rag-tag bunch of shadowrunners!

Great mystery/actionnovel

Love books with Dragons plus twist ending with a few surprises. Very well written with lots of action and little or none unsavory details.
