Heh... first off, it's Spector. S-P-E-C-T-O-R. Not Spectre or
Specter or Spectore<g>. The book is called "Worlds without End". It's a
sequel to the (AFAIK) not-quite-yet published ED books "Scars" AND
"Little Treasures". (Scars was slated for March last I heard. Can
anyone confirm? I unsubscribed from the ED list)
To answer the orginal question, what choice did they have?
A
>very thin novel (look at the typeface; it's larger than the SR novels
*looks at typeface* It's not that big. I just compared it to Never
Trust an Elf and Beyond the Pale. About the same size as the former,
*slighty* larger than the latter. I've definatly seen bigger
*couCHANGELINGgh*.

Actually, FASA just outright says it on the descriptions of the two ED
books. "The first EarthDawn-Shadowrun crossover" or something similar.
I think they are calling all three books "The Immortals Trilogy" now...
*mumbles something about being fraggin time*
>(Aina and her own personal horror, dontchaknow).
Some would say it's the other way around...

IIRC in WWE, when Aina and Harlequin meet in Paris, it's just as
friends. I believe their "fling" actually took place several thousand
years ago. Let's not forget about Alica riding shotgun with Hitler...
just makes you want to say "bitch".
I believe Spector's book is great, and if you are into the ED/SR
crossover stuff it's definatly a must.
