I haven't bought a SR product for over a year. I just haven't been impressed with the quality since Lockdown. I had high hopes here though. After all, this is the update for Shadowbeat. How bad could it be?

Pretty bad. Terrible in fact. I have tried and failed to read it 4 times and failed each time. There is nothing here to capture the imagination and advance the setting. I get the distinct impression that Catalyst is just going through the motions. The book is aptly named though should they not surrender the license or improve their products because No Future is what will happen to the Shadowrun game at this rate.
