Review of 'Shadowrun: Never Deal with a Dragon' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

After all these years, Shadowrun is still the perfect combination. Cyberpunk and fantasy, it can't get any better. Sure, some of the tech is a bit dated, even 30 years before the story is set. But still, these books will always be special to me.

In this first book of a trilogy, we see a Western salariman working for Japanese megacorp Renraku fall from grace and his transformation to a Shadowrunner who doesn't shy away from dealing with dragons. We get magic, tech, and glimpses into a world that has seen the appearance of magic and it's associated creatures (like the aforementioned dragons). If that sounds like your thing, give this book a try!
