Shadowrun #2: Poison Agendas: A Shadowrun Novel (Shadowrun)

"Poison Agendas" was a surprisingly fun book! Being a staunch fan of classic Shadowrun, and having a deep interest in RPG genre books, I have to admit I was a bit leery about the return of Shadowrun, and various alterations it might have. Stephen Kenson's new series, of which "Poison Agendas" is the second, gave me not only the reassurance I needed, but also hope that my favorite game from high school wouldn't be turned into something awful in future generations. The characters are well developed, and the plots are the delightfully twisty and fast-paced ones that Shadowrun is famous for. The magic and science are once again well thought out and in harmony with the game, while not being oppressively rulebound or annoying. All in all, it's great fiction, and was a blast to read! I recommend this book, and it's predecessor, "Born to Run," to any who have an interest in science fiction, fantasy, or adventure. Enjoy!
