Robert Collinson

The Pied Piper

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The 1745 Jacobite rebellion in Scotland forms the backdrop to this novel. The plot deals with the involvement of the main characters, Rob McAlpine and David Buchanan, in the Government's strategy to allow the 'Rising' in the Highlands to take place, so latent support for the Stuart 'Cause' is rooted out and destroyed. While the main characters are fictional, the tale weaves its way through historical events and locations. International politics, freemasonry, high adventure and romance, lead to a tense finale, with far reaching consequences, on the dark shores of Loch Arkaig.

Autorenporträt

Robert Collinson spent his early years in his home town of Edinburgh and had many different jobs before finally, at the age of 22, he moved north to Aberdeenshire to pursue a career in the oil industry. After many years of working on and offshore, for various operators and service companies alike, he began consulting on an international basis, travelling extensively to work and to fulfil his contractual requirements. This allowed him to gain a broader understanding of the operations that would increase his knowledge of oilfield operations, and ultimately diversify his experience. Forty years later, he retired and decided to recall the memories of his adventures at home and abroad, and began to document some of the stories that had formed part of his career. www.robertcollinson.com
