About the Author

Many thanks for showing an interest in my books. They are for the most part basically light entertainment. They aren’t intended to be literary fiction, they are intended to make you laugh, enjoy the ride and spend a few hours in escape from the daily grind. I am always happy to hear what readers think of my books, so feel free to drop me a line.

PS. You can also catch up with my latest book research on the blog page.

Part-time Highland Games competitor, full-time sci-fi author, Angus MacBrain (and yes, it is MacBrain, not MacBrian) is a man of many talents—and more than a few questionable ideas involving bagpipes in zero gravity. Standing at a height that would make most aliens think twice about an invasion, Angus combines his love of science fiction with the heart and humour of the Scottish Highlands.

Known for his fiery red beard, which is often mistaken for a weapon of mass distraction, Angus writes tales of futuristic cosmic feuds, space battles, and corporate insanity, all from the windswept solitude of a remote Scottish island. There, surrounded by wild seas, sheep with dubious loyalties, and a temperamental generator, Angus claims the isolation is perfect for “thinking big thoughts and hiding from the taxman.”

When he’s not crafting interstellar epics, you can find him hauling firewood, experimenting with recipes for deep-space haggis, or shouting at passing seals for interrupting his creative process. Despite the challenges of island life, Angus insists he wouldn’t trade it for anything—except maybe a functional teleportation device.
