Description

Powerful true events in 1973 through the eyes of a sixteen-year-old during the Ulster troubles. Glasgo, who like many of his generation felt compelled to belong to a movement in defense of a frantic loyalist cause.

In order to escape the violence of a disenfranchised home, he naively walks into a maelstrom of paramilitary/vigilante mayhem as civil war looms.

The Tartan clans, the footmen of the Orange Paramilitaries were engaged to do their cold bidding.

Here he teams up with his cohorts. Angel and big Geordy. But who really are they? Like most tormented young men of his age, he succumbs to the gang membership then innocently caught up with the vengeful politics of Northern Ireland.

The author tells it as it is, in a compelling but gripping story of events, that also takes in what was going on behind the scenes at the local police station, as the novel takes on a different angle.Rampage and they are ready for the madness in doing the Paramilitaries bidding.

To stop them; a capable seventy five year old veteran of both world wars, with a walking stick.One war after another, finally, at 75, to settle down with a woman he believes in, even though not all is what it seems.

For a start, she is catholic, republican, and loves the feel of a trigger.

McGovern found what he was always searching for. A low-maintenance woman called Mary. He brought forward his overdue demob date for the sake of survival to love once more.

Moreover, the future of the village he would live, love, and end his final days.

Trouble is, how to keep the arms haul intercepted from the paramilitaries knowing; It's one thing swallowing an act of loyalist revenge, who up until now, have been largely within the law, but what if that is a psychotic ARMS DEALER you did a number on.

Moreover, the informer, who knows an opportunity when it comes along.

The Major enters the Frey teetering on the brink of civil war, with the most PSYCHOPATHIC regiment in the British army.

Taking a risk, McGovern pinned his hopes on the same as he had always done.

Good timing, a ban on the media.
