Title: Favorite Fiction
Post by: GuardDuty on <08-29-19/2039:18>: I'm taking a dive into the shadowrun novels I never got to read lately, and I have to say it's been pretty hit and miss (Dragonheart Saga, what a fraggin' let down you were!). That leads me to ask, what is everyone's favorite bit of shadowrun fiction?

PS I was always led to believe that the events leading to the military blockade of Crater Lake were incorporated in a novel, but my limited Google-fu has not revealed the name to me (if it's true). Any help would be appreciated.
PPS No it's not Worlds Without End (which was also a letdown)

I just finished Burning Bright a few days ago, and it was fantastic.

I’ll rebuy all of them to have them on my phone. All
My favorite series I’ve done that for but last time I checked only the current ones were kindle.

Post by: Prime Mover on <08-29-19/2341:02>: Original trilogy really shaped my image of the setting when it came out. After that anything from Nigel Findley or Carl Sargent and Marc Gascoigne.

Post by: FastJack on <08-30-19/0840:53>: Here is the list of books available in EPUB/MOBI format on DriveThruRPG: Shadowrun books (https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/2216/Catalyst-Game-Labs?filters=1700_0_0_44501_0). I'm not sure why that one BattleTech book shows up... :P

Edit: You may want to look around a bit outside the filtered list I posted too, I don't think it grabbed everything.

Post by: cantrip on <08-30-19/1009:43>: Another vote for Burning Bright. I also enjoyed 2XS and the original Secrets of Power trilogy. Never trust and Elf and Into the Shadows(anthology) were good. Changeling has some good characters and House of the Sun is a follow up to 2XS.
