Full Description
Want to know how to take over a small country?
This story follows a group of disparate people, over many years, as they campaign for Scottish Independence. Isobel and Karen hold strong socialist views but they are tempered by James and Richard who believe that a better way to govern requires more control. Jake, from the criminal underworld, believes only in independence. Glimpses into the past show how their experiences have helped shape their politics and philosophy, and how it motivates them or, accentuates an already damaged personality. Their children, the second generation, join them and will surpass the roles of their parents. When Simon, a multi-billionaire owner of a gambling empire, agrees to finance them, all becomes possible.
When they realise that change will not come by political will alone, the plan for a bloodless revolution develops. They have the means to achieve it - Richard, throughout his career in the Army, has been building a hidden network of independence supporters within the Scottish brigades. To support the army network they have recruited and trained a militia commanded by the gangster's son. They have formed a political party that will be the basis of the provisional government.
They have prepared well for one day - Independence Day.
