Title: The Lucifer Deck (Shadowrun , No 23) by Lisa Smedman ISBN: 0-451-45377-8 Publisher: New American Library Pub. Date: January, 1997 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $5.99 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.33 (6 reviews)
Rating: 4
Summary: Probably Smedman's best SR novel.
Comment: Of all her SR novels, The Lucifer Deck comes closest to capturing the atmosphere of the Shadowrun universe - and the one where she keeps her more annoying inclinations/idosyncracies best in check (caviat - I haven't read Blood Sport yet, so I cannot be difinative, but I have read her other SR novels).
Set in Seattle and involving more "down to earth" issues than are often dealt with in recient SR novels (which I found to be a plus - lately it seems the novel writers enchew commonality and go only for storylines involving the grandest themes, personages, and more high profile threats of the SR universe). This approach brought the streets of Seattle, the level at which most Runners make their livelyhood, to life.

Summary: I like it!
Comment: One of the more realistic shadowrun books I've read, and written in a distinctive style that I enjoyed a lot. What I really appreciated about this book is how it tied in with the SR Companion. It definitely made me look at media types in a new light. While by no means Tolkien or Gibson-esque material, I think it is deserving of every SR player's reading time.
Rating: 2
Summary: Good background but bad story
Comment: I liked the way the author showed racism in the world of Shadowrun. That was the only strongpoint of the book though. The story was just plain stupid: how many people are going to save the world 'as we know it' in RPG novels? The author should have used a different plot to highlight the racial undertones of the novel.
