Shadowrun: Respec the Blade (Transverse Noir #2‪)‬

CAUGHT BETWEEN HEAVEN AND HELL…

When street ganger Nezz takes one risk too many and finds himself falling to earth without a parachute, wings, or even a nice lake to fall into, he figures he's one dead ork.

When he wakes up after what should have been a terminal case of concrete poisoning, at first Nezz thinks he's somehow arrived in the afterlife. But while trying to navigate this strange-yet-familiar new world, he soon realizes why it's familiar…

He's in the universe of Transverse Noir, the Matrix game he knew inside and out before its sudden termination. Nezz knew the game so well because he made it his mission to seek out its cracks, its patched code, its weaknesses to exploit. As a player, he was akin to a demigod…

But now, as a noob in a character build he would never choose for himself, Nezz has to navigate the game and figure out its secrets in an entirely new way…or die trying…

Respec the Blade is the second in a four-novella story arc that takes Shadowrun into the LitRPG genre. Written by acclaimed fiction and comic book authors Cat Rambo and Lowell Francis, this story of a game within a game is sure to delight and surprise Shadowrun fans.
