A single death (Dunkelzahn) and the Shadowrun world changes forever. Here you can read about the history of Fuchi, Ares, Yamatetsu, Renraku and Shiawase. And remember, even megacorps have people on top who make the decisions. And those are people with ordinary (okay not soo ordinary) feelings. And when Miles Lanier (head of Fuchi security) gets Director with Renraku, the shit hits the fan.

The book gives you all the nifty background details and the maneuvering behind the scenes. And it gives you a lot of ideas and short describes adventures to make it happen on the street. Okay you have to fill in some work, but who really needs the stats, the debugging and the layout/matrix plans that fill out about two third of regular shdowrun adventures? I don't.

Instead you get a complete campaign setting, lots of good ideas crammed in 86 pages and about a dozen adventures more or less ready to play. Go get it.
