The Meanest Streets,James Kincaid is the type of guy who might be described as down on his luck, if only heâ€™d had some luck to begin with. Like so many people in the shadows of Seattle, heâ€™s trying to get by with what he has. In his case, that includes a lively spirit, a sadly diminished magical talent, quick wits, and good knowledge of the twists and turns of Seattleâ€™s dingy streets and back alleys. He puts all that to the service of whatever clients he can dig up, solving whatever cases theyâ€™re willing to pay him to take on. With any luck, heâ€™ll scrape up enough nuyen to buy a few rounds of his favorite drinkâ€”whiskey, neat.,His latest case seems simple enoughâ€”find a girl whoâ€™s gone missing. But throw in a couple of feuding megacorporations, a few organized crime families, and a full selection of the odd denizens of Seattleâ€™s streets, and youâ€™ve got a case thatâ€™s anything but easy. Itâ€™s up to Kincaid to see how many people he can keep aliveâ€”including (and especially) himself.,Neat is a brand-new Shadowrun novella plunging readers into the cold, sharp environs of the Sixth World. Elves, trolls, orks, and dwarves mix with humans in the shadowy streets of a near-future world altered by magic, trying to survive on the crumbs dropped by the megacorporations that dominate the world. Whether youâ€™re new to Shadowrun fiction or a longtime fan, Neat is your ticket back to the Sixth World in all its dark, desperate glory.
