Suicide's Run: A Tale of the Hobomancers
 |
A nation mired in the Great Depression elects a new president. Some men¸ supposedly "America's elite¸" fear his reforms. They have a plan to overthrow Franklin Roosevelt and replace him with a dictator they control.
One man has the power to stop this dastardly plot. Unfortunately¸ after a failed suicide attempt¸ Jakob's woken up in a hobo camp with no way to tell what he knows. His only hope - America's only hope - are the hobomancers¸ train hopping hobo wizards defending the world against monsters and evil.
In their way stand a corrupt wizard¸ vindictive robber barons¸ sadistic private eyes¸ and creatures who know only fire and death. The last hope to save themselves¸ to save the Union¸ and maybe the world¸ is SUICIDE'S RUN!
Suicide's Run is a complete standalone novel based in the same world as the Hobomancer RPG; you do not need any familiarity with the game to enjoy the novel. For those who play the Hobomancer game¸ though¸ there is plenty of rich material that will help flesh out your game world¸ as well as game stats for the novel's major characters.
Suicide's Run is written by Hobomancer co-creator Carter Newton¸ and illustrated by Hobomancer cover artist Jeffrey Johnson.
