In a near and uncertain future, veteran Sergeant Emmett Lee wanders the countryside in search of replacements for his obsolete military-issue implants. Despite his failing battery and corrupted memory files, our reticent hero teams up with defiant farmer Rebecca Clark against the agritech giant Chem-O-Grow and its brutish genetically-modified enforcer Arlin Frey. Broken Road is a story of ingenuity in the face of corporate greed, what it means to be human and the need for connection, and the strength of community in the face of insurmountable forces.
