About this listen

"Death of a Union" is a gripping geopolitical thriller set against the tumultuous backdrop of the UK's infamous 1984 miners' strike. George McDonald is a union leader, on the verge of exposing staggering corruption within Arthur Scargill's National Union of Miners, where millions have vanished. However, sinister forces, including a shadowy KGB agent and fellow union leaders, conspire against him, setting the stage for a high-stakes showdown.

Fast forward four decades and Scotland is on the verge of becoming an independent nation under dynamic new leadership, transforming the SNP from a joke into a powerhouse of positive change. But this new direction leads Scotland into uncharted territory, forming unconventional alliances, particularly with China. These alliances draw the ire of Whitehall and Washington, triggering alarms on both sides of the Atlantic.

As the political landscape intensifies, MI5 reopens the Pandora's box of George McDonald's corruption case. The echoes of the past resonate in the present, thrusting Scotland's First Minister into a web of intrigue and peril. Amidst political maneuvering, covert operations, and the weight of untold secrets, "Death of a Union" becomes a riveting tale of power, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of justice.
