Headhunters may be the best 25 cents I've ever spent on a book. It isn't deep, life-changing literature by any stretch of the imagination, but you'd be a fool to expect that out of a Shadowrun novel. That being said, I was really surprised at how actually how good it is. The plot is full of action and moves at a breakneck pace as would be expected, but is also very intriguing and kept me wondering about it the whole time I read.To make things better, the cast of characters are fantastic. There isn't a lot of chance for character development in a book like this, but Odom manages to find time and make the entire group of shadowrunners interesting on different levels. Most tie-ins like this treat characters as meat that is only present to get the plot moving, but these characters seem like real people with real depth. Jack Skater, Quint Duran, Archangel, Elvis, and Cullen Trey are all characters I would love to see again.All in all, I can't recommend this enough to someone who likes pulpy cyberpunk. It has everything you could ever want out of a Shadowrun novel, and actually does a great job of going above and beyond. Loved it.
