Well, in the previous books I have looked at the concept of Mega-Corporations and touched on the idea of cyberware, so with this particular book I will probably continue my discussion on cyberware, though I will like to have a few words about this book first. I guess this novel would primarily be concerned about racism, and some have suggested that the concepts in this book have been written before their time, but I disagree most heartidly, the issue of racism has been around for quite a while,

This book is pretty poor. The story follows the life of a newly transformed Troll in the Chicago Shadows. While this story takes place in the Shadowrun world (or at least it has some SR themes) it isn't about shadowrunning as much as how Peter (the main character) comes to terms with being a Troll.
