Agreed. Twister claims it didn't sell well, but to be honest I find that
surprising -- it has absolutely everything you'd care to know about Lone
Star, and as such is a very good source for the GM. (Or perhaps that was
part of the problem: only GMs bought it.)

The Corporate Security Handbook is essentially a KE brochure about what
kind of service they provide. That should give you ideas on how KE works,
too.

Nice, but I doubt there's a real market for it.

IIRC, FASA are considering such a book, based on the various books
published by the European companies that translated SR into languages like
German, French, Hungarian, etc. I would see this as a more viable book
than a Target: Middle East one, but still not one I honestly expect to
come out. Not unless it's drastically better than the London and Germany
Sourcebooks, anyway.
