I thought this book was pretty good...except I did not care for the ending. That being said, I don't think there was a real understanding of the Shadowrun universe. For example, while Orks and Trolls changed from human Elfs and Dwarves were born that way. One of the characters in the book is a Dwarf who changed from human. Not exactly correct, and maybe not a big deal, but irritating to me because I know how things are supposed to work. Still a good book overall.I get the feeling that this book was edited heavily, so what I don't like is most likely attributed to the editor and not the author.
