Description

A MEGABYTE BLOW-OUT IN 21ST CENTURY BOSTON He awoke in a body bag, his brain fried, a black hole where his memory should be. If not for the cool carbon-fiber blade concealed in the bones of his arm, he would've been dead for sure. But Michael Bishop—a.k.a. Babel, messiah of the Matrix—is back in the game. Renraku Computer Systems has defied the accords of the Corporate Court. Now they must decipher the secrets of the otaku—and Babel is the technoshaman reborn for the show more job. But Netwalking in the shadows of the electron jungle means initiation into deadly megacorporate intrigue—and discovering more about Babel's own team than he fears he should know. As allies become adversaries, Babel breaks through dreaded black ice security to find a doorway to the future—and signs of a corp war looming on the horizon—one that could destroy the technoworld and beyond...forever. show less

The story dragged on quite a bit. It took a hundred pages to get going a little bit and the first actian happens around p200, so almost halfway through. Yeah, it's fun enough when the shadowrun actually starts! But that doesn't help it to much overall...
