This electrifying novel set in the world of Cyberpunk 2077 follows a group of strangers as they discover that the dangers of Night City are all too real. In neon-drenched Night City, a ragtag group of strangers have just pulled off a daring heist on a Militech convoy transporting a mysterious container. What do each of them have in common? Good, old-fashioned blackmail. Forced to do the job, they have no idea how far their employer's reach goes, nor what mysterious object the container holds.
The newly-formed gang - consisting of a veteran turned renegade, a Militech sleeper agent, an amateur netrunner, a corporate negotiator, a ripperdoc and a techie - must overcome their differences and work together lest their secrets come to light before they can pull off the next deadly heist.
Ich fand es gut und spannend zu hören. Das Booklet mit Glossar etc. fand ich hilfreich. Ich habe das Videospiel nie gespielt und das Buch hat für mich trotzdem funktioniert.
If you're reading this, you've already been interested in the world set out in the game so I'll save time introducing you to it again. While there have been a few graphic novels, I believe this is the first classic text story filling out the lore. No Coincidence follows a ragtag crew brought together by circumstance and desperation to do a job, but nothing is what it seems. By the end of the book you'll be seeing the opening chapters in an entirely new light. Clever wording, double meanings, and implications linking to one of the game's more intriguing missions makes this a great read if you weren't quite ready to leave Night City.
