}> I definitelly agree, however "Fade to Black" is probably one of the

}Changeling was good, and Streets of Blood left me thinking about how I
}didn't like the ending because it wasn't a happy end... But at the same
}time, I am the kind of guy who wants movies and books to _not_ have happy
}endings simply because 99% of them already have one :)

The only problem that I found with Streets of Blood (apart from
the fact that Transis-neuronet MD owed us a few favours), was the
aparent 'ease' with which the corp was taken down. Fade to Black (I
think I've mentioned this) made a lot more sense when combined with
the third book (whatever it was called;-) I know someone told me.
Which brings me to another point, does anyone know if they have
brought out the first shadowrun novel. The one before the secrets of
power trio. I know that there was a limited amount published, then it
went out of print. Recently I heard a romour that it was being placed
back into print. Any truth ? And what is the novel called ?

Thanks
