He came from 1897 to save 2097.
New York, 2097.
The city still stands - but it no longer breathes.
Surveillance drones own the sky. Screens preach obedience. Silence passes for peace.
And a man long buried by history walks back into the streets.
They called him Ruby Bob - heavyweight champion, bare-knuckle legend, a man built for iron and truth. When he steps out of the fog of 1897 into a city ruled by algorithms and fear, Bob finds a world where fists no longer matter... and choice is the first thing taken.
Hunted by a smiling tyrant, aided by a street-wise fixer and a hacker who lives in the wires, Bob becomes something the city forgot how to handle: a man who won't comply.
Ruby Bob: Ghost in the City is a dystopian noir thriller - a collision of classic hard-boiled grit and near-future oppression. Part political thriller, part action noir, it asks one brutal question:
What happens when the past punches back?
Perfect for readers of dark science fiction, cyberpunk noir, and high-stakes dystopian thrillers.
