Target: UCAS is probably one the last Shadowrun 2nd edition books to come out and possibly the first of the Target series. This book focuses on about 4 cities in the United Canadian and American States. Although most of what's in it has been updated in Shadows of North America it still contains valuable and detailed information on Boston, Detroit, the Washington DC sprawl, and Chicago.

Perhaps most importantly it tells the (rather short) tale of how Ares (mostly) took out the bug spirits. It also gives rules for using Strain 3 bacteria, those crazy little critters that eat magical items and people.

It's a pretty fun read in of itself with plenty of decker shadowtalk sprinkled throughout. You're probably going to want it if you want to do runs in either Boston or Detroit.

It seems to be pretty easy to find (but not nearly as prevalent as the Street Samurai Catalog) and it's usually not too expensive. I believe some of the sellers here have very reasonably priced copies for sale.

Get "Bug City" and the "Missing Blood: Universal Brotherhood" books and read them as a trilogy. These guys are great!!!
