NO PLACE FOR A HERO...

Jimmy Kincaid, burned-out mage, P. I., and the closest thing Puyallup’s got to a hero, has a lot on his plate these days. Simmering gang wars, feuding mobsters, missing runaways, magical power only as reliable as his stubborn sorcerous patron, and—well above his usual pay grade—an encrypted data file that's already cost him friends, but that he can’t even access. When the always-dangerous troubles of the Seattle sprawl deepen into a bloody conspiracy with ties to neighboring nations and inhuman powers, he knows he’s on the job of his life. Facing the longest of long odds, Kincaid’s all too aware that the house always wins.

Luckily, he’s not alone. A man like Jimmy can’t walk these shadowed streets without making enemies, but he’s made allies, too. With the help of his bounty-hunting best friends, an up-and-coming shadowrunner team, a former Lone Star detective who’s short in stature but big in style, and his loyal, albeit flighty ally spirit, Jimmy’s stacked the deck in his favor. Maybe he’s got a shot after all. Maybe he can make it all work. Maybe he can find the right balance, share the right truths, and make something good out of a whole lot of bad.

Of course, the problem with a house of cards is it just takes one good hit to bring it all tumbling down…

I just got this a few days ago and have already reread it. This was great, the story was nuanced, the characters had great depth, and I can't wait for the sequel. This was well written and really made you care about background characters from Shaken

So, finished this in one go.

As always with Russell Zimmermann's fiction, I really love the detail of it. The Thai joint now has names and faces, which is great, as are the homeless shelters in Downtown and the way the homeless are treated there (a topic that has seen very conflicting and fragmentary coverage in other books). Further, old and new brand names, recurring brands, all very much appreciated.

Again, the heart of the novel is Jimmy Kincaid in classic hard boiled action, though with several perspectives now that broaden the view on the world Kincaid lives in considerably (especially enjoyed Pink's and Gem's parts), though I'm not entirely sure I don't like the limited character perspective better. That said, Rook's and his dad's little storyline was very amusing, and it was nice to finally see old legend Blackwing given some spotlight again.

The tie-in with Shadowrun gaming products - namely the Emerald City file - also is nice. It's always good to see synergies...See more

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
