Shadowrun: The Complete Frame Job


Book Description

FIVE RUNNERS. ONE JOB. And a Whole Lot of Trouble... It should have been a simple walk in the corp. Stroll into a mid-level corporation disguised as a nameless mid-level manager in a suit, deliver an unknown data package to an isolated network, and stroll out again. But nothing is ever simple in the shadows. Now five shadowrunners are on the run themselves. Framed by their employer, the mysterious Mr. Johnson, and marked for termination by every hired cop, corp security man, and shadowrunner in Seattle, the team must find out who set them up, why they did it, and figure out how to deliver their payback—without getting killed in the process. The Complete Frame Job is the collected six-novella story set in the gritty, dark future, magic-and-machine world of Shadowrun.




Contracts


Book Description

Contracts By: Phoenix Maverick No longer a Master Chief Navy Seal, Alex Jenson is approached by a man named Xavier who offers Alex the opportunity to make money working as a mercenary with five contracts needing fulfillment. These five contracts require Alex to assassinate several individuals who have wronged Xavier and his employer, Mr. X, in some manner. With his girlfriend, Alicia, at his side, he accepts the offer and the two begin their work with Xavier. Alex and Alicia soon realize what the contracts are truly intended to accomplish, causing the pair to rethink their actions when it is revealed that Alex’s former fiancé is added into the mix. With only the knowledge of a single contract at any one time, Alex is forced into making a difficult decision: does Xavier find out that he knows about his former fiancé and break the contracts, or does he continue to work with Xavier and give him the impression that he knows not about her? Inspired by true events, including dreams, that occurred in his life, Phoenix Maverick has carefully taken an interesting approach and placed those events (with changed names, of course) within the world of Contracts to create an intriguing and powerful backstory-heavy driven work.




Legacy of the Sorceress


Book Description

A roll of the dice and Fate thrusts Corporal Anna Mackenzie into a new situation. With her soul hanging in the balance, the young gargoyle, Shadowlight, makes a deal with the Lord of the Underworld to save Anna’s life. The demigod saves her, then sends the pair to Haven, a city outside time, where they will heal. The price? Thirteen years. The length of time Anna will need to embrace the healing stone sleep of gargoyles. When she wakes, an adult gargoyle is waiting for her. He goes by the name Obsidian, but she’d once known him by another—Shadowlight. Obsidian might be a stranger, but she’d promised Shadowlight she’d never leave him. Now his older self wants her to honor that promise and stay, training alongside him to become one of Lord Death’s military leaders. To honor the memory of a gargoyle cub she’d once loved like a little brother, Anna agrees to join the Lord of the Underworld’s cause. Is she working for the good guys? Or has she traded in one Overlord for another? Either way she’s staying. Her promises don’t come with an expiration date and the more she gets to know Obsidian, the more she sees Shadowlight in him. There’s no way she’s abandoning the kid a second time.

Shadowrun: The Frame Job


Book Description

THE THRILLING CONCLUSION OF THE FRAME JOB SERIES! Double-crossed. Ambushed. One, and possibly two megacorps out for their heads... Yu, Emu, Rude, Frostburn, and Zipfile have been through a lot in the last few days. Their backs are against the wall. And when that happens, there’s only one thing left to do—come out swinging (or in Rude’s case, shooting). Their recon and data-gathering has all paid off. They know who to hit, where to hit them, and how. Now all they gotta do is infiltrate a heavily secure corp building in a busy business area of Seattle in broad daylight and bring it down…from the inside. And all that stands in their way is Mr. Johnson himself, corp security, and another hundred and one things that could go wrong… And, assuming they can pull this mission off, there’s still the matter of the second Johnson who hired them…and who might want to ensure there are no loose ends after this job. Will the Frame Job be the team's last one, or will they use everything they have to find a way to come out on top?
