Good For The Soul

Good for the Soul is a razor-sharp political satire of power, ideals, and the billionaires who think they can save us all.Former Prime Minister Andy Blackwell thought he'd escaped politics for good. Burned out and newly engaged, he wants nothing more than peace and obscurity. But when a mysterious invitation arrives from something called the Global Conclave, offering a million-pound fee to discuss the future of the world, Andy can't resist.Meanwhile, Simon Pope - warehouse worker, accidental revolutionary, and reluctant operative for a shadowy group known as the Garden Club - is sent to rural Ireland to "e;monitor"e; a suspected crime boss. His cover story? A fishing trip. His problem? He hates fishing and has no idea what he's doing.When Andy departs the Conclave, fearing his idealistic Path Finder philosophy is being hijacked for darker ends, his flight collides with Simon's farce of a mission in the quiet town of Clonbrinny.Soon, armed locals are defending themselves against outside forces, and an unprecedented meeting of political and criminal minds heralds an all-out assault on the oligarchs and the established world order. Global chaos feels just one misunderstanding away.Fast, funny, and slyly hopeful, Good for the Soul skewers political ambition and billionaire hubris with equal relish, while reminding us that ordinary people, armed with humour and decency, might just hold the line.Good for the Soul is the second book in The Path Finder Series, following Paths Not Yet Taken and leading to Where the Winds Blow - three interlinked tales of politics, hope, and well-intentioned chaos.
