Whispers of the Dead — James Litherland

A thrilling tale of dystopian espionage in a post-apocalyptic Japan --

IN THE SHADOW of Mt. Fuji, in a far future Japan, the oppressive Batsu government controls the rebuilding of the devastated country, bestowing boons on privileged citizens while leaving most to fend for themselves on the fringes. After a disastrous job ends with Batsu enforcers hunting him, reformed thief Roshike runs -- right into the heart of their regime, the fortified Gaku complex, to take on an almost impossible task. And he just might stand a slim chance of success, if only he'll accept the help of a few friends. But first he has to choose the right ones.
