Hi J!

To your question: Fastjack was in at least "Night´s Pawn" (I´ve read
about half of the novels). Fastjack doesn´t appear to be very powerful
in terms of fighting over the Matrix, but he´s supposed to be a genius
at retrieving information from corps and similar stuff, so he´s still an
excellent decker. Additionally, the novels gave me the feeling that
Dodger is much more "addicted", or personally involved, with the Matrix,
while Fastjack is simply a "user", if an extremely mysterious one (note:
FJ is the only character in SRTCG not assigned to any race, as far as I
know).
This brought me upon a question: Do racially effective cards work with
or against Fastjack?
