Even as a boy growing up in Northern Ireland, Colin knew the Catholic nuns who threatened him with hellfire and damnation each time he acted up were wrong. They believed in a simple and just world, one where good was rewarded and evil punished.
But Colin had sinned. He’d gotten away with it, too, time and time again.
Early on, he discovered that what he couldn’t afford could just as easily be stolen. Also, while brute strength was an asset when it came to making his way in the world, fear—effectively applied—was a more powerful weapon. And what of lust? When it comes to women, he’s found that they can be seduced with the simplest of lies. Yes, life is easy when you play by your own set of rules.
Killing is easy, too, especially when taking lives in the name of God and country. But there was time—long ago—when Colin’s talents were deemed “too brutal” for even the IRA. This drove him to find new fortunes as a mercenary for hire around the globe. Soon, no cause would be too extreme, as long as payments arrived on time.
Today Colin has a new cause to fight for: the human race. His current employer? Purusha Ventures. But with allies like this on their side, is the company sacrificing its soul in order to win a supernatural war? It’s this question that Bodie Taylor will ask… and in doing so, put himself on a collision course with destiny.
