Product Description

It is said that when death draws near you your entire life flashes before your eyes. With perhaps only seconds to live, that's what happens to Hamish Macleod, except the life he sees is not his own but that of his rebellious twin brother. The moon was rising. Hamish strolled along the beach. He came upon a solitary coconut palm and decided to sit underneath it. Click! The sound heralded the arrival of a ten-second eternity. Red light flashed in his brain. A torrent of adrenaline screamed through his bloodstream and in those ten flesh-creeping seconds he recognized who he was Hamish Macleod, the man who had just sat on an unexploded landmine. His mind spun into fast rewind. The night Angus and Hamish were born on Scotland s holy isle of Iona, a gale raged across the west coast of Scotland. The tempest killed their father, and giving birth to twins took the life of their mother. Storm and tragedy were destined to mark both the twin brothers lives in very different ways. Join Hamish and Angus Macleod on a sex, drugs and rock and rolling helter-skelter ride that will transport you into dimensions beyond the known in Mind Bomb.

'A BOMBHANGER'
That very rare thing, a top-notch novel with a matchless and riveting storyline...Mind Bomb's theme is a ridiculously funny, tragi-comic take on the lives of twin brothers viewed by one of the twins as he sits on top of an unexploded bomb. It is one of the most original and gripping tales I've read in years. It has all of the right ingredients, a compelling narrative drive, unique structural skill, scenes of brilliant vividness and an ironic sense of humour running through each and every chapter. I slowed up when reading the last pages because I didn't want the story to end. My only disappointment is that the follow-up hasn't been published yet.

BLOWN AWAY
A remarkable read which had me hooked from beginning to end. Great characterization and absurd scenes from the Scottish Highlands to the violent streets of Glasgow. May well spark yet another sixties revival because the author makes it sound like those were the very best of times. Maybe he is right.

'DYNAMITE READ'
Hits the cosmic bullseye for those who seek an unusual page-turner spiced with hillarious sexual encounters, gritty violence, psychedelic drugs and acid-fueled rock and roll. The only plausible reason for setting down this provocative and quirky novel is to tell your friends about it. A dynamite read.
