In a world where magic and technology coexist, and where both have become far too advanced for comfort, the Shadowrunners survive by the quickness of their wits, the sharpness of their fangs and blades and their skill at riding the computer Matrix.
This book is more than an anthology; it's a "braided novel" -- a collection of short stories with a common thread running through them, though sometimes only incidentally. In this case, that common thread is a machiavellian power play at the executive levels of Seattle's business community, including Natural Vat foods, Bob's Cartage and Freight, United Oil, North American Transport, and the Yakuza.
These stories occur in the year 2050, before any of the preceding novels. Collectively, they present a superb example of how a single shadowrun can have wide-reaching repercussions.
