Customer Reviews

Cream of the crop

My Thoughts about this novel is that this is one of the top 5 Shadowrun books.Jak Koke is a great author and FASA knows it.

One of the best Shadowrun novels in the series!

Shadowrun novels started with some great works by Findley and Charrette, but then it started to go down hill. The writing became long winded, and the plots ... well .. lets just say they were uninteresting at best. Koke has put the Shadow back into Shadowrun. This is what Shadowrun was meant to be! Dark, gritty, and very few people alive at the end!

Writing is as great as the plot

Although the Shadowrun universe is definitely one of fantasy, I've found some of the novels to be a little far fetched, even within the liberal boundaries of Shadowrun. This one however, is pure delightful entertainment! The writing is excellent, the story is fun and exciting and there aren't any corny elements that have plagued some other Shadowrun novels. If you're a fan of Shadowrun, you'll be a fan of Dead Air.

Life is hard, but then so are you?

When Jonathan's closest friend gets greased in a combat bikematch and it becomes clear it wasn't excactly an accident things gethot. Jonathan has to run the shadows and dodge the bullets while figuring out who got who in their pockets and why. Koke makes an fluid and enjoyable novel with all the Shadowrun elements neatly in place. Hi-tech, shadowrunners and sinister megacorps all come into play making a punch-proof novel. It all gets crowned by an unexpectedly great ending. Throughoutly enjoyable book for the fans of Shadowrun and Sci-fi.
