City of Broken Dreamers: Book One

In the Los Angeles of 2042, a Ghost is a bounty hunter whose powerful backers offer unusual protection from the law. The protagonist is one of the best in that profession, although his personal history remains difficult to escape. An assignment involving a target with an important secret draws him into a wider conflict. City of Broken Dreamers combines that cyberpunk investigation with relationships shaped by the player’s responses. Book One contains chapters one through seven, with a glossary that introduces the world’s institutions and terminology.
