* Game Information Overview: Target: UCAS is a book that tries to accomplish two things: first, to update the Shadowrun timeline to early 2058; and second, describe areas of the UCAS not previously covered in-depth. It's the first of the "Target" books, dealing with specific regions of the world in a slightly different way than the older sourcebooks did. For example, there are no lists of bars, restaurants, and other buildings, instead the book focuses on describing three cities (Boston, Chicago, and Detroit, in case you missed the Sections bit above), focusing mostly on what's of interest to shadowrunners—"who does what to whom and how"-style information, in essence. In this respect, the book is a handy source for the gamemaster, though I suspect the data given is not really enough to build a full campaign on (to be fair, that would be asking too much of a book this size). That's part of the sourcebook section. The other gives the State of the Union for 2058, as read by UCAS president Kyle Haeffner (this also appeared on FASA's web site), and additional information about the commission investigating Dunkelzahn's assassination, as well as discussion and conclusions based on the current state of affairs in the UCAS. Also, the chapter about Chicago deals with the resolution (if it can be called that) of the Bug City crisis. Then there's the chapter with game information, which deals mostly with issues runners can encounter in the three cities described, including some rather nasty ones, as well as the option of using ghouls as player characters. Yes, you read that right...
