Shadowrun: Neat

The Meanest Streets James Kincaid is the type of guy who might be described as down on his luck, if only he�d had some luck to begin with. Like so many people in the shadows of Seattle, he�s trying to get by with what he has. In his case, that includes a lively spirit, a sadly diminished magical talent, quick wits, and good knowledge of the twists and turns of Seattle�s dingy streets and back alleys. He puts all that to the service of whatever clients he can dig up, solving whatever cases they�re willing to pay him to take on. With any luck, he�ll scrape up enough nuyen to buy a few rounds of his favorite drink�whiskey, neat. His latest case seems simple enough�find a girl who�s gone missing. But throw in a couple of feuding megacorporations, a few organized crime families, and a full selection of the odd denizens of Seattle�s streets, and you�ve got a case that�s anything but easy. It�s up to Kincaid to see how many people he can keep alive�including (and especially) himself. Neat is a brand-new Shadowrun novella plunging readers into the cold, sharp environs of the Sixth World. Elves, trolls, orks, and dwarves mix with humans in the shadowy streets of a near-future world altered by magic, trying to survive on the crumbs dropped by the megacorporations that dominate the world. Whether you�re new to Shadowrun fiction or a longtime fan, Neat is your ticket back to the Sixth World in all its dark, desperate glory.
