We here at Shadowrun HQ are patient and persistent bunch, and one of the things we have been the most patient and persistent about is getting new Shadowrun novels into the hands of readers. It’s been a long process, beset by many obstacles and delays, but the journey that started when John Helfers and I first convened a “Save Shadowrun Fiction” meeting at Gen Con many years ago has now come to the ending we always wanted: A new Shadowrun novel is out! And better yet, it’s the first in a whole line of planned novels! Fire & Frost is the title, and you can get it in print, ePub, and Kindle-compatible versions at the Battleshop, or just the electronic versions (in one tasty package!) at DriveThruRPG. You can also check the listing at BarnesAndNoble.com (where it’s available for Nook or in print–and be sure to check the review already posted with the print listing). Wanna know what it’s about? Check it out:

But his quest to simply get his hands on the map is more dangerous than he expected—even for a shadow runner.
He and his own team of runners—including everything from a goblin rigger to a troll street samurai—follow a murky trail that takes them from the ruins of Chicago to the jungles of Amazonia. Along the way, they discover that they’re not the only ones looking for this map—and that it may lead to a treasure even greater than anyone could have known. Elijah and his crew plan to get both the map and to its riches first—assuming they survive the very dangerous road trip to get there…
