Detailed information[]
Publisher blurb[]
In the abandoned factory known as the Crypt, society's castoffs have found a place to call home. Some of the Crypt's denizens are hiding or on the run; some have nowhere left to go. But the Crypt protects its own, providing care for street kids as well as medical and magical healing for those in need. It also sports an illegal tap into the Matrix, and hosts a coven of some of the most successful shadowrunners around.
When a disgraced corporate mover takes an interest in the Crypt - and in a valuable secret long hidden in its foundations - he doesn't intend to let the dregs of Seattle keep him from making the score of a lifetime. But he's about to discover that the Crypt's inhabitants aren't going to be buried so easily....
Spoiler[]
It depicts the struggles of a group of squatters and top-class Shadowrunners who live and protect the Crypt, an abandoned factory in Puyallup, Seattle. They are protecting their home from the machinations of a disgraced Aztechnology company man and his decker friend, together known as the Mad Hatter and the March Hare who have found the location of a missing ORO experiment to cure goblinization created prior to 2026, titled GBX-IV.
When the pair discover it's in the Crypt, they purchase the land and hire mercs to depose the squatters from their lifelong home. When the mission backfires (resulting in several deaths on both sides), it's up to the top-class runners to find out why the mysterious new owner wants the Crypt so badly.
In the end a massive fight goes down, the runners manage to escape and plan the Shadowrun to end all Shadowruns - a run into the Aztechnology Pyramid in downtown Seattle.
