Were there Shadowrun books written? I only knew of the (bad) videogames and better pen and paper material.
You probably read the review on Cory Doctorow's Boing Boing. Apparently it's his guilty pleasure. I must confess, I picked the book up on a whim before even hearing of Cory reviewing it.
I was in Borders and I saw Elegy Beach in hardcover on the shelf. It looked pretty. So, I picked it up and found the first in the rerelease. It got a new home that day
So far I'm only on Chapter 7 but loving every minute of it. I've just got too much to read right now so I can't devote all my time to it
