Starts strong, gets a bit lost, then never really recovers.
This is the second book in the Secrets of Power trilogy by Robert N. Charrette. This trilogy kind of sets the scene for all the Shadowrun books. Focusing a little more on Samuel Verners magical abilities and his sisters transformation.

Loved this book when I was a teenager and still do today. The whole concept of the Shadowrun universe is just a great idea combining the best parts of fantasy fiction with the best parts of science fiction in the early 90's. Time to read the third book.
