Publication history

Shannon Appelcline noted that after FanPro licensed Shadowrun from FASA in early 2001, with Rob Boyle as line editor, "FanPro was able to get Shadowrun going again almost immediately. Boyle's biggest concern as he revved up the line was continuing the game's metaplot. Year of the Comet (2001) thus introduced Shadowrun's newest story - involving the return of Haley's comet - which continued in Wake of the Comet (2002). The storyline introduced a new dragon - another holdover from Earthdawn as it happens - and that story was resolved in Survival of the Fittest (2002), though its repercussions would continue to affect the Shadowrun universe afterward." ^{[3] : 434}
