The topic is Cyberpunk mercenaries, aka Solo's. Basically, these are what are today called private military contractors but it is even more than that. These are specialists that are also PI's, close protection guards, intelligence operatives, extraction specialists (and believe me this is not so do-good activity in this universe :) ) and gun-totting-walking weaponized behemoths. Players are given all possible stats, risks ... everything.
Now what actually makes this sourcebook notch above the others [for me at least] is the presentation. Whoever made this book seems to be a fan of old-style "Soldier Of Fortune" magazine. Everything is told through editorials, articles, and ever-present ads for both jobs and equipment. It is so immersive and detailed that it is truly work of art. It is not even necessary to be an active game player - entire content is organized in such a minute way (e.g. article having a single page at the beginning and then continues with column or two among the classifieds on page 75) that it will be like you are actually reading true soldier-for-hire magazine brought to you from the future.
Highly recommended for all SF [and in general adventure genre] fans.… (mais)
