I own about a dozen or so of the novels myself. I'm a younger gamer, and have only been into Shadowrun for about 7 or 8 years now, so a lot of the older novels were out of print when I went to start buying them. I only own the SR3 and SR4 core rulebooks, to boot. But I absolutely love the novels. It's been a couple years since I have read one. I just picked up the three newest Steven Kenson books at Barnes and Noble around Christmas Time but haven't gotten around to reading them yet. I liked his last sequence of books (Technobabel, Crossroads, Ragnarock, and The Burning Times), so I figured I'd give his newest ones a shot.

I seem to recall Wolf & Raven being one of my favorite. Kid Stealth is the type of person you'd never want to meet running the shadows (unless he was on your side). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cyber.gif)

Reminds me of trying to get ahold of the SR3 core rulebook in around 2002... I ordered it from Best Buy, Hastings, and a bunch of other stores and they could never get me a copy in. We were on vacation in some other state and found a mall with a giant role playing store. Amongst hundreds of books, mostly D&D, I found 4 Shadowrun Books. SR3 Core Rulebook, Cannon Companion, Man & Machine, and Germany Sourcebook. Of course, I had to choose just one - so I got SR3.

Any more novels slated to come out in the near future?

EDIT: Also, any fans of the Genesis or SNES Shadowrun games? I like them both and think they're a lot of fun. Albeit probably non-cannon.
