A Marine turned Greek God. An army of beautiful Amazons. An infernal enemy out to burn the world down. It’s been three weeks since Jacob Merely crash-landed on the mythical island of Lycastia, and the newly minted War God finally has things under control. He’s grown into his power, built his city, and earned the respect of his gorgeous, hard-charging Amazons. He’s not in the clear yet, though. Hades still lives, and the mystical sigil holding him at bay is rapidly failing. Worse, a horde of new enemies is battering Lycastia’s gates daily, slowly grinding down Jacob’s forces. But Jacob has a plan to get the upper hand. He’s learned about a legendary weapon buried in a prehistoric world deep in the bowels of the island. A weapon with the power to kill even gods. If he can defeat the weapon’s primordial guardians and subdue an exiled Titan, he might just be able to save the world. But that’s an awfully big if …

Millions of Scots have left their homeland during the last 400 years, and until now, they have mostly been written about in general terms. Gathering the tales of particular emigrants, drawn from the once-powerful Clan MacLeod, and discovering what happened to them and their families, this history breaks new ground. These are stories of, among other things, French aristocrats, Polish resistance fighters, Texan ranchers, New Zealand shepherds, Australian goldminers, Aboriginal and African-American activists, Canadian mounted policemen, and Confederate rebels. One 19-century MacLeod even went so far as to swap his Gaelic for Arabic and his Christianity for Islam before settling down comfortably in Cairo. Based on unpublished documents, letters, family histories, and the author's travels in the company of today's MacLeods, this is a tale of disastrous voyages, famine, dispossession, and the hazards of pioneering on faraway frontiers. But it is also the moving story of how people separated from Scotland by hundreds of years and thousands of miles continue to identify with the small country where their journeys began.
