Jack Slater and his team have been hired to retrieve a corpse from a high-security funeral home. The body contains something of great significance to their client--and the two top-flight security forces pursuing them--but whatever it is, it's also protected by hard-wired wizardry. With the enemy closing in, and his shadowrunning team forced into a corner, Jack is hoping he has one more trick up his sleeve.

More About the Author
I write in a number of fields, but always with the hope of telling an interesting tale that will incite a reader to think for himself or herself, to examine his or her own place in the world, and offer a little nudge in the direction of dreams, faith, and personal growth in spite of whatever odds a person has to face. I also believe we were all put here for a purpose. Hopefully, several purposes. I'm a father, a little league coach, a teacher, a friend, and a writer. I struggle to keep that balance, as many of us do these days, but I hold tightly to the belief that I'm doing all I can be doing, and doing what I should be doing.

3.0 out of 5 stars
A well paced adventure with a splash of emotion, Well done!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Shadowrun 27: Headhunters (Paperback)
This story is the epitomy of every runner's life. Not only does the SR team have to deal with all the heat breathing down their necks, they have real personal problems as well. Odom does an outstanding job portraying the carachters as "real," and their handling of every situation as if their lives depended on it (because they usualy do) kept me turning the pages.

A worthy sequel to "Preying for Keeps",
By A Customer
This review is from: Shadowrun 27: Headhunters (Paperback)
With this second novel featuring Jack "Skater" Slater's team from "Preying for Keeps", Mel Odom once again brings us what a true SR novel should be like. If you play SR, and I assume you do, you can feel with the protagonists as they face everyday problems like gangers messing around while you have more important things to do or ending up being chased down orktown's underground. This book captures the whole flavor of the SR world, there are runners, corps, the cops... all in one high-speed plot. But there's also a take on the runners' private life, something not often found. Get this book and you'll not only read a novel, but experience the SR world.

Shadowrun's alive,
This review is from: Shadowrun 27: Headhunters (Paperback)
In my opinion, Headhunters is quite a good book since the author manages to make the runners have personal problems and still have them look like professionals. What I didn't like, however, were the conversations between Skater and Archangel - these are not the kind of conversations that any real person would actually deal in. Apart from that, Headhunters is certainly one of the Shadowrun books that creates the most atmosphere.
