Shadowrun Legends: Choose Your Enemies Carefully

Secrets of Power, Vol. 2

By: Robert N. Charrette

Narrated by: Tren Sparks

When magic returns to the Earth, its power calls Sam Verner. As Sam searches for his sister through the slick and scary streets of 2050, his quest leads him across the ocean to England, where druids rule the streets...and the throne. But all is not what it seems, and Sam and his new shadow friends are plunged into a maze of madness on the trail of destruction.

Only when Sam accepts his destiny as a shaman can he embrace the power he needs. But what waits for him in the final confrontation of technology and human flesh is a secret much darker than anything he knew lay waiting in the shadows....

Much better than the first

I had a hard time getting into the first book but this one is a lot better. The narrator does a really good job too.

Great Performance, Middling Book

Unlike the crisp and punchy narrative of Book 1, Book 2 has a lot of odd POV changes, time skips, and a fairly convoluted plot that resolves far too conveniently. While Sparks' reading is excellent and the emotion he puts into his characterizations is compelling, I found myself having to go back and listen to sections to catch the sudden jump in time or action. As a Shadowrun fan, I'm invested in the story of Sam, Dodger, Sally, and Ghost, but this story just misses the mark a little. Book 1 was a step above.

huge shadowrun fan

love the series.
this was a childhood favorite.
so glad I get to read them with my own child.

Awesome

Way better than the first book. Can’t wait to read the third! Fifteen words minimum

seriously.

it was good, I knew it was gonna be good because I had it in cassette over 20 years ago. what I do not understand is why after I finished the 2nd book in the series is why the third one is not avalible. this is August and the info to purchase the 3rd one says it will not be avaliable until January? WTF! This is a very old series, was recorded for audio years ago. so you are just making us wait for shits and giggles?
