Have to disagree with you there. I read Burning Bright because I wanted more
info on what happened to Chicago and I did get some nice ideas for places to
let the PCs visit, but apart from that... The writing was just crap, IMO,
the story was OK but on the whole I think the book could have been done a
_lot_ better.
