PART TWO OF THE ORIGINAL SHADOWRUN SIXTH WORLD EDITION NOVELLA SERIES! FIVE RUNNERS. ONE JOB. AND A WHOLE LOT OF TROUBLE... Now that the shadowrunning team knows they've been double-crossed by one of the largest megacorps in the Sixth World, they've got two jobs to do: clear their name and deliver payback with a vengeance. While hiding out on the outskirts of Seattle, Aussie rigger Emu begins taking steps toward that exact plan by trying to find out who set them up with Knight Errant, but she's also got other problems; juggling an outstanding mob debt and handling a side courier run for a friend in exchange for intel on the corp Johnson. However, even the best laid plans can go wrong, and Emu has to find a way to accomplish all all three jobs while staying one step ahead of her enemies...and their bullets.

PART THREE OF THE ORIGINAL SHADOWRUN SIXTH WORLD EDITION NOVELLA SERIES! FIVE RUNNERS. ONE JOB. AND A WHOLE LOT OF TROUBLE... After being double-crossed by one of the largest megacorps in the Sixth World, the shadowrunner team sets their own plans in motion: clear their names and deliver payback with a vengeance. Rude didn’t have much planned after the Telestrian run…sleep in and wait for his share of the payday. But when Zipfile calls asking him to run stealthy back-up on Yu’s meet with the Johnson for payment, the troll heads to the warehouse district to keep an eye on things…and finds a lot more than he bargained for. Now, after fighting his way through the high-level ambush that nearly killed Yu, Rude hits the streets looking for information on who tried to kill them…and who hired them to do it. But in Seattle, it’s always good to remember that the streets can hit back…and often do…

THE FIRST SHADOWRUN FICTION SET IN THE SIXTH WORLD EDITION OF THE GAME! 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 payback—without getting killed in the process. The Frame Job, Part 1 is the first in a brand-new, six-novella story set in the gritty, dark future, magic-and-machine world of Shadowrun.

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?

NEVER STOP TRAINING... Dashiell Red Clay's days on the field and at basic combat training might be behind him, but his life as a Salish Ranger has just begun...and there’s a lethal learning curve! Only life in The Sixth World can teach Dash what it means to be a member of the Salish Boat Service, what it means to serve your country, and what the word “country” even stands for in the fractured continents of Shadowrun's dark future. Red Clay and his Rangers will clash with street gangs and elite soldiers alike, from the enigmatic, elven Ghosts to the legendary Wildcats of the NAN plains. Life will throw notorious mercenaries at him, cutthroat thrill-gangers, pride and shame, danger and love, and maybe even a street legend or two. From the barren mountains of Afghanistan to the filthy streets of Seattle, from the 2040s to the 2060s, from matters of the heart to tests of loyalty, Dash will face dangers Yakima never trained him for and threats “the book” never saw coming! * * * The Blackbird series is a short novel trilogy with strong military, Shadowrun-historical, and Native American Nation themes. Fans of the Kincaid series will enjoy a first-person narrative exploring the history of the Sixth World through Dash’s eyes as he experiences the world of shadowrunners from a perspective a half-step removed from the shadows...on the battlefield, not the streets, as paramilitary action spills from one famous conflict to the next, spanning decades and three action-packed stories.

THE RULES ARE SIMPLE… Redlock is a rising star in the brutal sport of Urban Combat, where teams of armed combatants try to score points against their opponents while shooting it out amid Seattle’s decaying urban landscape. Managed by his mother, a legendary Urban Brawl player until her forced retirement, and fitted with top-line cyberware that makes him better than human, Redlock is on the fast-track to super-stardom—until it all comes crashing down around him. WIN OR DIE… After sabotage takes him out of the major leagues, Redlock finds himself on the streets for real, alone for the first time ever. But the lure of Urban Brawl is too seductive to ignore, and when his mother lines up another opportunity for him, all her son has to do is go against every instinct he has… Will he sacrifice his one shot back to the majors for the scrappy team that adopted him when he had nowhere else to go, or will Redlock pull the ultimate ambush play on his own teammates?

ALWAYS READY TO ROCK…AND RUN! It was supposed to be a Top Drek gig like any other: Play some tunes, have a fight, get wasted. How was I supposed to know the guy I cracked in two over a table was some corp bigwig? Like, not our usual crowd, y’know? (And look, I may be a bass player named Twinkle Toes, but I’m also a tall, red-skinned ork with a love for shouting, so there’s not way he didn’t see me coming.) So the corp gave us a choice: Do a job for them, or die. How the frag can I say no? I got my bandmates to look out for, including my adopted daughter (and amazing singer), Ametheest, her maybe-lover Silver, my best mate, Bleeding Blossom, and our loser keyboardist, Lance. But our spotlight is growing, dispelling the shadows we desperately need to hide in. Rock and roll might not jive with the corps…and Ottawa’s gonna get caught in the crossfire. In the end, only one question remains for all of us, chummer: You gonna be SINless…or soulless?
