Jacobites by Name: Third time lucky - Future Edinburgh Sean T Rassleagh

Edinburgh 2025. Six years after Brexit. The New Georgian wing of the Tories is in firm control and determined to take the UK back to the 1700s. To avert a second independence referendum Westminster have appointed a Viceroy to run Scotland. Thousands of police from other parts of the UK are being flown in to assert control. Meanwhile the Scottish Government's black-ops department, the Tourism Advanced Research Projects Agency, is working on weaponising midges as a doomsday weapon to force Westminster to concede independence and a group of brilliant Edinburgh University professors is colluding with the Vatican to stage a third Jacobite rebellion. Science fiction mixes with political satire and occasional heresy in a lighthearted romp with more jokes than Dan Brown and less swearing than Irvine Welsh.
