PSYCHOTROPE
It started out as a simple Matrix run, but now five deckers are trapped inside a nightmarish virtual landscape where jacking out is an impossibility--and what waits has all the hallmarks of the afterlife: tunnels of brilliant light, greetings from long-dead friends and family… and the terrifying sense of being juggled between Heaven and Hell. In this computer-generated netherworld, there is only one thing that can be trusted. And it isn't the senses. The countdown is on, with the deckers struggling to prevent their minds and souls from being extinguished by a Matrix crash--and only twelve minutes to go.
Also available in German from Wilhelm Heyne Verlag publishing.

"(Psychotrope) was one of the first Shadowrun novels I ever picked up, and it's also the one that got me hooked on the series. The characters are flawless and interesting to read about. A top quality book for anyone interested in the Shadowrun genre."


"(Psychotrope) was the first Shadowrun book I read, and, if all the others are like this, I'm as hooked on the novels as I am on the game! Five different deckers trapped in an ultraviolet host on the Seattle RTG makes for a unique plot, and all the incredible twists makes this, well, I can't think of any words to describe how good this book is!"
