Shadowrun: Wer erschoss Kincaid?
KEIN PLATZ FÜR HELDEN Jimmy Kincaid, ausgebrannter Magier, Privatdetektiv und das, was in Puyallup einem Helden am nächsten kommt, hat dieser Tage eine Menge schwelende Bandenkriege, verfeindete Gangster, vermisste Ausreißer und eine verschlüsselte Datei, auf die er nicht zugreifen kann, die ihm aber nichts als Ärger einbringt. Als sich die Probleme zu einer blutigen Verschwörung ausweiten, mit unmenschlichen Mächten und weit über die Grenzen Seattles hinaus, steht er vor dem schwierigsten Job seines Lebens. Aber er ist nicht allein. Zur Seite stehen ihm sein flüchtiger Geisterfreund und ein ehemaliger Lone-Star-Polizist, mit denen er sich einem ungewissen Schicksal stellt. Vielleicht kann er das Ruder noch herumreißen. Vielleicht geht er aber auch mit dem sinkenden Schiff unter.

Russell Zimmerman really ups his game with Stirred, giving us more of our favorite worn down, heart of gold, take no crap gumshoe Jimmy Kincaid, yet also expanding the scope of the story and the cast of characters.
Stirred takes the Kincaid storyline that we have been following and, after the bloody drek hits the fan and gets messy, Zimmerman hands off the point of view of the story to multiple characters. This gives us a wonderful peek at the lore, culture shock, and politics of the Sixth World, as well as makes the story bigger. The stakes follow the trend, and Zimmerman masterfully catches you off guard multiple times by ratcheting up the tension and tossing in some explosive twists.
Needless to say, a lot of unsavory things happen to our cast of characters, and it was a blast to read.
I can't wait for the next installment of the Kincaid saga, be it another novel, short story, or novella. Whatever Zimmerman cranks out, I am so there!

This is the best Shadowrun book I have ever read!!!
It checks all the boxes:
Compelling characters
Changing perspectives
Investigators, organized crime, gangs, Shadowrunners, Jackpoint, smuggling, hacking, magic, metaplanes.
Betrayal, double crossing, misinformation, using people, helping people.
Russell fits in basically everything and it doesnt feel shoehorned.
This story is DONK!
I FREAKING LIVED IT!!!

Zimmerman schaffte es mit Stirred, einen der besten Shadowrun Romane überhaupt zu schreiben. Die vielen bekannten und neuen Charaktere, diverse parallele Handlungsstränge in Puyallup und Tir, überhaupt der Ausflug nach Tir und zu den Ancients, der Auftritt legendärer Personen aus dem SR Universum und Kincaids lakonische Art machen diesen Ausflug zu einem wahren Fest.

Zimmerman serves up a ripping cocktail that leaves us wanted another.
I like that he's expanded his cast of characters and want to see them again. The logic of some events was a bit twisted, but they made sense once the storylines coalesced.
