Shadowrun: The Frame Job: Part 6: Retribution

Shadowrun: The Frame Job

by J.M. Hardy

THE THRILLING CONCLUSION OF THE FRAME JOB SERIES! Double-crossed. Ambushed. One, and possibly two megacorps out for their heads... Yu, Emu, Rude, Frostburn, and Zipfile have been through a lot in the last few days. Their backs are against the wall. And when that happens, there’s only one thing left to do—come out swinging (or in Rude’s case, shooting). Their recon and data-gathering has all paid off. They know who to hit, where to hit them, and how. Now all they gotta do is infiltrate a heavily secure corp building in a busy business area of Seattle in broad daylight and bring it down…from the inside. And all that stands in their way is Mr. Johnson himself, corp security, and another hundred and one things that could go wrong… And, assuming they can pull this mission off, there’s still the matter of the second Johnson who hired them…and who might want to ensure there are no loose ends after this job. Will the Frame Job be the team's last one, or will they use everything they have to find a way to come out on top?

This is the 6th part of a collection of short stories set in the new Shadowrun status quo. It is a bit disjointed. That has less to do with the author's skill and more to do with the nature of the story and the fact it gets told by multiple authors from multiple points of view. The basic plot is classic Shadowrun fare. A group of runners get betrayed by their Johnson, end up on the run, and later try to get out from under their predicament. It was a likable story.

Neuvěřitelně špatná knížka.
Nápad oslavit a podpořit vydání nové verze pravidel sérií novel asi zněl skvěle - teoreticky - ale exekuce šla kolem a řekla, že nechce s tím mít nic společného.
Každý další díl série (ktera začala průměrně, přinejlepším) je horší a horší, ale alespoň je vyprávěn z nějaké semi-zajímavé perspektivy jednotlivce. Sice by se jednotlivé díly daly vtěsnat do povídky na pár stránek uvnitř pravidel, ale pořád lepší než závěr, který nemá nic z toho. Je to jako záznam špatně připravené a špatně odehrané hry hráči, které to nezajímá, nebaví a už chtějí jít domů.
