I see your point, Marc, although I don't entirely agree. WHO the author
is does have some weight as far as I'm concerned.
At any rate, the instance you're referring to is taken from the novel
Shadowboxer, I believe. It certainly isn't from Changeling.
*For some strange reason, Doc' would believe Mike Mulvihill if he wrote
a book saying that in Shadowrun, the world had suddenly become flat.
He'd also believe him if Mike told him that while holding an AK-97 to
his head.*
