Beskrivning
You get the insurgents you deserve. The United Kingdom lies in ruins, torn apart by fear, arrogance, and an inexhaustible supply of stupidity. England teeters on the brink of economic disaster, while behind a giant wall, Scotland labours under the tyrannical rule of the Marischal. The people cry out for a hero. Unfortunately, they've got James Macfarlane. The incidental tycoon and aspiring alcoholic is ill-equipped to launch a rebellion. But Mac -as he is warmly known to a dwindling number of people - has his reasons and he's going to give it his best shot. As he races to keep one step ahead of a merciless police state, leaving chaos in his wake, he is accompanied by an unforgiving bootlegger, a shrewd siren, an eccentric aristocrat, a calamitous hacker, and one of Glasgow's most violent sons. Can Mac save the country and himself from the wicked regime? It's not looking good.

Mer information

Michael Millar was an award-winning journalist before taking his pieces of silver and becoming a political lobbyist and corporate spin doctor. Before turning to the dark side, Michael reported from Iraq during the war; was business editor of BBC's Radio 4 Today programme; and wrote, broadcast and dissembled from all sorts of programmes, websites and publications, some more august than others. As a non-fiction author, Michael's previous work includes The Secret Lives of Numbers (Random House, 2012), which was a bestseller for the publisher and translated into several languages. In this book, Michael began to hone the writing style that drives his latest story. He is also co-author of The Five-Minute Failure (Rock-Hill Publishing, 2006).

Recensioner i media

'A great read. Lose yourself as Michael takes you on a thrilling adventure.' - Tim Lovejoy, TV presenter; 'A fascinating, dark and witty look at a world gone wrong. A glorious read.' - Lou Sanders, comedian; 'Bloody (and) brilliant. Prepare to be pulled into a world where dark comedy and high tension collide, driven by characters alive with hope and desire, greed and violence.' - Phil Davies, playwright and screenwriter; 'Taut writing and sharp-edged tension. Millar is like a darkly humorous Kafka.' - Jack Hayes, author of When Eagles Burn
