Book excerpt: Double agents, espionage and romance, this historical story transports you back to the Jacobite rising in 1745 and in the midst of an attempt by Scottish highlanders to place Bonnie Prince Charlie on the English throne. The plot follows Alastair Maclean, who has been exiled to France, and returns to join the Jacobite army as it moves towards London. Along the way he uncovers double agents, working for both the Jacobites and the British, and falls in love with an enemy's wife. With masses of old-world descriptions and scene-setting, you will walk the roads with the Scottish rebels as they conjure up support and surge forward to London. John Buchan, 1st Baron Tweedsmuir, was a British novelist and historian. He was also known as a Unionist politician who served as Governor General of Canada. After a brief legal career, he started his writing, political and diplomatic careers at the same time; first serving as a private secretary to the administrator of various colonies in southern Africa. He eventually wrote propaganda for the British war effort during the First World War. He was elected Member of Parliament for the Combined Scottish Universities in 1927, but spent most of his time on his writing career, notably writing 'The Thirty-Nine Steps', which was later filmed by Alfred Hitchcock and other adventure fiction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Midwinter emerges from a mysterious bundle of centuries old documents which the new senior partner of a renowned law firm found clearing the archives. The origins of the papers are obscure, but the intrigued narrator believes that they hint at James Boswell, the famous biographer of Samuel Johnson. The manuscripts and letters tell of the adventures of Captain Alastair Maclean during the time of the Jacobite rising in winter 1745/46. He has recently crossed the channel from France where he has been living in exile with Charles Edward Stuart aka Bonnie Prince Charlie and his entourage. The Prince is preparing his army's march to London and Captain Maclean is on his way to join him with important news. Given the situation he avoids all main roads and before soon he gets lost in the English country. When he hears voices, he first wants to turn away from them, but he needs help to get back on his way and one of the voices is sharp with pain. He finds a boy in the hands of a keeper about to beat him up for poaching and saves him from his tormentor. The boy leads the Scotsman to the camp of the Spoonbills where he meets a mysterious, violin playing man who is known only as Midwinter and who is revered almost like a king. Before Captain Maclean leaves the next morning, Midwinter assures him that he can turn to the Spoonbills for help whenever he needs it. And indeed, they will rescue him several times, once even from certain death, because he gets into the way of the traitors Nicholas Kyd and Sir John Norreys scheming to make their fortune. On the road he finds a loyal companion in Samuel Johnson chasing after his young lady Claudia Grevel who has eloped with Sir John Norreys and married him. When the Scotsman meets her, he falls in love with her despite all. The adventures of Alastair Maclean and Samuel Johnson continue in pursuit after and hiding from the traitors... with the help of wise and calm Midwinter.
