Rückseitentext
DIRK MONTGOMERY IS BACK
Dirk Montgomery, former Lone Star cop turned shadowrunner, knows the dark byways of Seattle and the Amerind city of Cheyenne. He knows when to take chances and when to take cover. But when a megacorporate exec demands payment of an old debt, Dirk finds himself where the familiar rules don't apply anymore.
The Kingdom of Hawai'i is a tropical playground...with a sinsister underside. Dirk must navigate its treacherous paths as he tries to stay one step ahead of all the factions battling to control the islands: the megacorps, the government, the rebels, and the yakuza. Not to mention dragons, elves, new friends...and old enemies.

A Plunge into the Heart of Darkness Ruthless mega-corporations operating above the law, an environment strained to the breaking point, and cities spilling over with populations they can’t control; life was hard in the 21st Century, but most figured it couldn’t get any worse—until magic returned to the world.
Cyberpunk meets magic in Shadowrun, where mercenary shadowrunners are the deniable assets of the rich and powerful. For the promise of a few nuyen, they face threats from corporate security mages to cybernetically enhanced street samurai. The risk is high, but the pay is good, and it’s better than life on the streets. No one wrote about Shadowrun like Nigel Findley, and House of the Sun was his final novel.
Private Detective Dirk Montgomery, following his adventures in 2XS, swore he’d take it easy after his last run, but a courier job to Hawai’i thrusts him into the middle of a clash between warring political factions. Swept up by the conflict, Dirk soon discovers that the true powers behind the struggle are more ancient—and evil—than he could have imagined.
