Dalriada

More about the book

Set at the beginning of WW1 it weaves together the literary, scientific, military and political worlds of this turbulent era providing fresh insights into the lives of well known and lesser figures as they grapple with the new ideas that will help end the war and shape the twentieth century. 1914 loosed the Clyde on the Kaiser - bang on the climax of the steam age and the movie craze. Dalriada's magnates, engineers, socialists, spies and 'new women' shake up places from Whitehall to Connecticut and the Caucasus, live dangerously - and get on the silver screen.
