I will shoot a lifesized cardboard cutout of you in the head. Just so we're clear.

Absolute power is kinda neat.

Looks good so far (Just perused it real quick like).

Just wondering - is the mention of Kirby Street Cafe(In the austin section) a shout out to Kerbey Lane Cafe in Austin?

Good eyes, Digital_Viking! That was indeed the author's intent--we just tweaked the spelling a bit.

I may or may not have friends in Austin that I may or may not have asked for their favorite local dining establishments that I may or may not have then subtly changed the name of before writing about it.

I specifically (errr, I mean, in Spy Games fashion, I may or may not have specifically) checked with Kris with the precise question "What do they serve that's good enough you'd let someone illegally cross a border with a hostile nation?"

Well, I don't know what the answer for Kirby/Kerbey was. But I do know that there are two things that I'd let cross the border: Good (east coast/brooklyn style - I'm biased) pizza and good takeout chinese. Both are tough to find, that when you do find the good ones, you're willing to go above and beyond to keep them.

Well I can neither confirm or deny the tastiness and sheer awesome that are Kerbey Lane enchiladas...

Look at that cover! Look at the preview.

There are approximately sixty new named NPCs I introduced for you to use as friends, foes, or more aptly, both. There is a list of intelligence agencies (corp, gov, other) with specialties if any, and a glossary with slang terms.

Oh, and introducing Extraplanar Intelligence.
