Negative Positive
Title: Probably Smedman's best SR novel.
Review: 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.
