Rückseitentext[Bearbeiten]
Asia. The East. A land of contrasts, from glittering skyscrapers to humble sacred temples. Japan, Malaysia and Hong Kong set the world's accelerated pace of progress, but next door in Indochina and Indonesia it's still last Century. It's a mystery to most, but if you know your drek, you'll find it's a land of opportunity. Anything you want is here. Cred. Gear. Flesh. Hell, I even heard of a guy finding enlightenment. There's always a price, of course, whether it's selling your soul to the corps or your sister to the slave trade.
Shadows of Asia provides Information on each country in Asia, from the internal strife of the Middle East to the enlightened new Japan, from the struggle for power in Russia to the war-torn fungles of Indochina. The important underworld figures, corps, crime outfits and political leaders for each nation are described, along with details on the unique outlook of Asian magical traditions. Maps are included.
