Shadowrun Legends: Psychotrope

LIFE SPAN: 12 MINUTES. . .

It started out as a simple Matrix run, but now five deckers are trapped inside a nightmarish virtual landscape where jacking out is an impossibility-and what waits has all the hallmarks of the afterlife: tunnels of brilliant light, greetings from long-dead friends and family. . . and the terrifying sense of being juggled between Heaven and Hell. But in this computer-generated netherworld, there is only one thing that can be trusted. And it isn't the senses. . . .

. . . THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS

It's the uncommon experience the deckers all share: a near brush with death. It has brought them together in this hell-raising realm and under the influence of a twisted intelligence with diabolical plans for the unwary travelers in grid-time. Having their minds and souls extinguished before the Matrix-scape crashdown is only the beginning of the puzzle. Discovering why will be the end. A dead end.
