Mr A. P. M. Cousins

Pact of Deliverance: Souls (Volume 2) Mr A. P. M. Cousins

The only thing that retired police officer and former mercenary Nobuo Okada knows is that he must find ? and then guide ? ten cynical and troubled people toward a vague and uncertain destiny that appears, at face value, to be a heroic adventure. In his profession as a counsellor, he begins his self-appointed task, aware that the fates intend to throw everything they can at him ? defiant and disbelieving recruits, gang warfare, a tired police force on the verge of collapse, a sport-betting conspiracy, cultist murder sprees, an overzealous cold-case enthusiast, foreign assassins and, somewhere in-between all that, his day job. All the while, he unwittingly harbours a great threat within his own subconscious that, if unleashed, could do more than everything else put together. If Nobuo can somehow succeed and get even one of his ten ?potentials? to where they have to be, then the real journey begins... whatever that may be.
