About this series
James Macfarlane — whisky tycoon and dilettante freedom fighter — is beginning to suspect his antagonists have a good point. His plan to overthrow Caledon’s despotic leader, the Marischal, had been going swimmingly. That was before he was thrown in a dungeon, shot in the face, and damn near shipwrecked.
But little does Mac know that things are about to get truly out of hand. Forces he can barely comprehend are eyeing him hungrily. Geopolitical intrigue runs in their veins and they think Mac’s jus the man for their most audacious and suicidal plot yet. Meanwhile, the diabolical ranks of the Caledon regime, enraged at Mac’s trail of destruction, are closing in on him and his ragtag group of co-conspirators.
Rarely have the stakes been so high and the chances of success so low.
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

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. ‘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.
