События, которые описываются в этой книге, происходили в Британии в XVII веке в эпоху Меркантилизма и Абсолютизма, в эпоху, когда судьи были «ушами короны», а чиновники – верными слугами королевской воли.Герои, о жизни которых повествуется в книге, являлись членами шотландской купеческой семьи Гэлбрейт: Фергус, Уэлэн, Лан и Давина. Они проживали в городе Глазго. Войны, семейные споры и искренний патриотизм – все это вы найдете в данной книге «Защитники Шотландии».

Шестидневная война, расовые бунты в США, убийство Че Гевары и кровавый след опиума в джунглях Вьетнама. Горячий финал шестидесятых годов.

Две истории в декорациях галантного века, не претендующие на историческую достоверность.Первая – последний прощальный полуоборот палача – к жертве.Вторая – взгляд в зеркало, где неясно, кто отражение и кто – наблюдатель.Принц в изгнании, игрок, лениво переставляющий фигуры в перерыве между партиями, и принц воров – арестант с рваными ноздрями и черными клеймами русской каторги. Противоположности не притягиваются, конечно, но – с любопытством смотрят друг на друга. Книга содержит нецензурную брань.
