Shadowrun: Die Karten des Schicksals Anthologie
Die Karten sind erwacht ... und nichts ist mehr, wie es war. Das Tarot, ein mystisches Kartendeck, ist in der Sechsten Welt als mächtiges Artefakt aufgetaucht. Es zieht jeden in seinen Bann, der eine der magischen Karten findet – seien es Runner, die auf den Straßen zu überleben versuchen, oder Manager, die ihre Intrigen in den Büros der Großkonzerne spinnen. Doch das ist nur die Spitze des Eisbergs: Das Netz des Tarot geht noch viel tiefer, denn es scheint seine ganz eigene Agenda zu haben
und noch größere Pläne in Bewegung zu setzen.
Die Karten des Schicksals ist eine Shadowrun-Anthologie, die 23 Kurzgeschichten über das neue, mächtige Tarot-Kartendeck in der Sechsten Welt enthält. Mit Geschichten von Michael A. Stackpole, Jennifer Brozek, Jason M. Hardy, Russel Zimmerman, R. L. King und vielen anderen enthüllt dieses Buch, wie das Erwachte Tarot die Welt beeinflusst – im Guten wie im Bösen.

This is the best SR Anthology and one of the best Anthologies I have ever read!
There are 24 stories and I enjoyed 21 or 22 of them. That is an accomplishment.
The Tarot Cards are not really the focus of this book. Some of the stories literally feature a card, are clearly inspired by the meaning or art of the card, but most of them appear to have been written and then a card was chosen to be the "inspiration".
This book will not shed light on the Shadowrun Tarot deck or its purpose in the world.
What it does is tell great SR stories in different parts of the world. Some are Shadowrunners and some are more regular people. The authors show us lots of lives and views of the Sixth World.
Clerical Errors are few and far between. Most of the stories are error free except for one of them and it had 3 or 4.

Mostly good short stories
My only complaint is it is helpful if you look up the card or cards each story references. Was nice to find a wolf and raven story always had a soft spot for them.

Not impressed
Was nowhere good as many stories all around. Very weak in most cases. Not at all worth the money. Just pass.

Great set of short stories all either built around or built upon the 6th world tarot. OC Presley, Russ Zimmerman, Jason Hardy, and CZ Wright's stories are definitely ones to enjoy.

Good overall but many of the stories were hit or miss.
