Summary: Superb character development and captivating story line
Comment: This is a must read for all Shadowrun fans. With superbly written characters who are extremely likeable. And a cool plot one can't go wrong! The characters are well written, which is somewhat of an understatment. Their reactions are not so "heroic" as realistic. This allows the reader to identify more with the characters. Both the portagonists, Falcon and Sly share the spotlight throughout the story. The two characters are masterfully tied together through circumstance and become more than just comrades-in-arms but friends (a rare and valuable thing in a dangerous world). While Falcon is seeking his calling of shamanism, Sly must overcome her greatest fears in order to survive. There is no other way to put it, this was a great book!

Summary: Global implications, human characters
Comment: A covert operation has gone bad, and the battle to recover the stolen data could lead to global catastrophe. Caught in the middle of this are Sly, a hacker who has been given an encrypted data-packet and is trying to live long enough to find out what she has, and Falcon, a young gang-member trying to fulfil a promise to a comrade. Not easy, considering that every government and corporation on the planet is quite willing to kill to get that data for themselves exclusively...
Nigel Findley always wrote superb Shadowrun fiction, and Shadowplay is no exception. Despite the fact that the plot has literally global implications, he manages to keep Sly and Falcon thinking and (re)acting like real people. There are several good fight sequences, some well-described Matrix scenes, and an 'astral journey' that will give you a good take on how a shaman views themself, their totem, and their magic.
Those who don't understand the setting may get a little disoriented, but if you play Shadowrun, this book is a must-have.
