Although his first degree was in engineering, he completed a PhD in 18th century Scottish history, as a mature student. He has published widely on mills, merchants and slavery and held honorary fellowships at three Scottish universities. In his retirement, he has been employed as a history tutor and tour guide. This is his first novel.The author has been chasing this story for more than thirty years, since first discovering adverts for runaway Africans in the Glasgow press. That humble beginning raised a curiosity and an ambition to chase one particular runaway, named Cato. This trail led from Glasgow to Lancaster, Manchester, Bristol, Cardiff, London, Nevis, St Kitts and Grenada. Although this book bears a resemblance to a historical story, all events are fictitious. Anyone interested can find more about similar characters in real life in the author's published books and articles. But that's history, not a novel.lihat lebih sedikit
