Hello everyone.
I’m very excited to announce the release of my latest book, Raid on Porkopolis! If you’ve been waiting for my next cosmic adventure, this one is sure to satisfy. It’s packed with everything I love about sci-fi: big space battles, corporate madness, and a dash of humour. Oh, and did I mention pigs? Yes, space pigs. But more on that in a moment.
So, what’s Raid on Porkopolis all about? In short: it’s the story of a ragtag group of rebels on a mission to rescue an artefact that’s incredible important to them, some space pigs, and a high-stakes mission to stop a corporate conspiracy that could shake the galaxy to its core. Sounds intense, right? Well, I can assure you it’s also absurdly fun. After all, I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t throw a bit of the unexpected into the mix.
When I’m not writing, I live on a remote Scottish island where the wind howls, the sheep are suspiciously loyal to no one, and I can barely keep the generator running. It’s the perfect place for writing big ideas and hiding from the taxman. The isolation also lets me focus on my stories in a way that’s hard to match, though I must admit, I do get interrupted now and then by seals who seem to think they have all the answers.
Raid on Porkopolis came out of this solitude. It’s a book that combines my love for the absurd with a deep dive into the weird world of corporate space politics, and of course, a healthy dose of the strange and wonderful characters I love creating. I had a blast writing it, and I hope you’ll enjoy reading it just as much.
As always, I’ve tried to keep the humour intact, even in the most serious moments, and I hope that balance works for you. There are a few twists, plenty of action, and a lot of unexpected moments that I think will keep you on your toes.
If you’re up for a story about space rebels, pigs, and corporate scheming, Raid on Porkopolis is available now.
I’m incredibly grateful for all of you who continue to support my work. If you decide to pick up the book (available in all the usual formats at Amazon), I’d love to hear what you think.
Thanks for reading,
Angus MacBrain
