Shadowrun: Tourist Trapped
STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND…
When what should have been a simple hack-and-grab heist in the Dallas metroplex goes terribly wrong, shadowrunner Gilabyte is advised by his Mr. Johnson to lay low for a while, even take a trip out of town. While is how the technomancer finds himself relaxing in the far wilds of…Toronto.
At first the enforced vacation is pretty plush digs, plenty of nuyen, and the entire city available for him to sample. But then the lights go out…and they don’t come back on the next day…or the next…
Within 3 days of the blackout, it’s every person for themself as Toronto starts to splinter apart. Gilabyte just wants to get back home, but finds himself making new allies—and dubious deals—in order to get safely out of town. Along the way, he uncovers clues to a larger conspiracy that affects him and his sprites directly…and could lead to all technomancers becoming a valuable—and endangered—species if the wrong people get their hands on him…

Three stars is a fair review for this book. The story is pretty standard for the universe and if you like the genre you will like this book. There are a number of spelling and grammar mistakes throughout, nothing that will stop you reading it but enough to make you question the quality. The story feels inconsequential to the universe but is a fun read regardless.

Best Technomancer Run EVER
Yeah I said it even though Dark Resonance was incredible. This got visceral and personal with what it means to run as a technomancer and how it feels when you are doing it. Thanks to the author.

Good entertainment, though I think it could have gone on for another 50 pages to smooth out the ending which felt a bit rushed and contrived.
But overall, the whole scenario, the descriptions and characters ... all primo stuff.

Unterhaltsame Reise in ein Blackout -geplagtes Toronto, die eigentlich ein Urlaub für Technomancer Gilabyte werden sollte.
