I just came across this book on Amazon. It was written by Dundee author Callum Duffy, who amazingly, is only 15 years old. It gets good reviews on Amazon, and I'm very happy to encourage local talent...
The independence referendum is only weeks away. The people
of Scotland are being deliberately misled. Three unlikely heroes set out to
discover the truth, but the power of the state seeks to silence them. So begins
a desperate chase across the Scottish countryside to discover and reveal the
truth. The very future of Scotland is at stake ...
Synopsis
During the run up to the Scottish independence referendum,
the Yes campaign are leading. This drives the opposing No campaign to desperate
measures, and they have to start inventing false truths in order to get their
favoured result. When the political lies and spin reach an unbearable level, it
falls to a retired MI5 agent, a jailed computer hacker and a schoolboy genius
to expose the truth.
The truth is out there somewhere ...

Callum is a 4th year pupil at Grove Academy in Dundee.
He is also an NCO in the 44th Dundee Company the Boys' Brigade. A keen
violinist, Callum is a member of the Dundee Schools' Symphony Orchestra.
He has long been interested in creative writing and had the
idea for this full length novel two years ago.
During this time he has been
researching relevant subjects and taking expert advice on constructing and
editing the book.
Callum really enjoyed the process of researching and writing
the book, and he very much hopes that you will enjoy reading it.
The book is available as a paperback or an eBook from all
good bookshops and Amazon.
The eBook can also be downloaded
from this website.
I understand that authors make considerably less money through Amazon, so if you have compatible software, I'd suggest the website.
