Overview: This is the sourcebook about the United Kingdom in general, and London in particular. It describes the way Britain has changed since the turn of the century, and what it's like in the early 2050s.

I did take a look into it once (thanks, Phill!), and it seemed OK to me. I do know that it contains rules on druids and ley lines, but I can’t remember much else. Overview: This is the sourcebook about the United Kingdom in general, and London in particular. It describes the way Britain has changed since the turn of the century, and what it's like in the early 2050s. The book focuses on London, with about a third of the book devoted to that city and its districts, but also talks about the rest of the country, touching on other British cities such as Birmingham, Newcastle, Edinburgh, and more, plus details of the countryside (or what's left of it). As it was written by Sargent and Gascoigne (called the " Wonder Twins" by someone on the ShadowRN list), it probably won't be a surprise to learn that elves seem to dominate the higher classes of society and all the other races are shoved down into the slums. Another thing that irks me about this book is the seemingly needless destruction of the country by the writers in the interest of making it a different place than it is today. (This isn't peculiar to this book, but it's just more obvious here than in most other Shadowrun books, except possibly the Germany Sourcebook.) Oh, and as with seemingly all Shadowrun location books, it's described as grossly inaccurate by people actually living in the areas the book describes... It hasn't bothered me here, but then, I felt that way about Target: Smuggler Havens.
