Synopsis

Want to know how to take over a small country?
This story follows a group of disparate people, over many years, as they campaign for Scottish Independence. Isobel and Karen hold strong socialist views but they are tempered by James and Richard who believe that a better way to govern requires more control. Jake, from the criminal underworld, believes only in independence. Glimpses into the past show how their experiences have helped shape their politics and philosophy, and how it motivates them or, accentuates an already damaged personality. Their children, the second generation, join them and will surpass the roles of their parents. When Simon, a multi-billionaire owner of a gambling empire, agrees to finance them, all becomes possible.
When they realise that change will not come by political will alone, the plan for a bloodless revolution develops. They have the means to achieve it - Richard, throughout his career in the Army, has been building a hidden network of independence supporters within the Scottish brigades. To support the army network they have recruited and trained a militia commanded by the gangster's son. They have formed a political party that will be the basis of the provisional government.
They have prepared well for one day - Independence Day.

    "I’ve never known Mack to make a threat he was not prepared to carry out,” I said carefully. “He doesn’t bluff." 
    Frank Cardova provides logistic support for a highly effective team of deadly operatives known as Charlemagne, the premier freelance specialist team used by Western governments for black operations conducted without fingerprints. Mack, the team’s knife-wielding leader, and his son Charlie arrive on Frank’s doorstep bringing chaos, terror, and violence with them. 
    The last thing Frank ever wants to see is Louis, the volatile marksman of the team, anywhere near his home, let alone sitting at the kitchen table drinking a martini meant for him and flirting with his wife. For Frank, the men of Charlemagne have become the ultimate houseguests from hell. 
    Mack offers Frank’s subordinate, Steve Donovan, a chance to join the team after the fallout of a recent disaster puts his young family at risk. As Frank watches Steve turn into a killer and his wife and daughter discover what his thirty-year career has been all about, he helps the team save the lives of Steve’s family while dreading the danger to his own. 
    Can Frank trust anyone in his immediate circle? 
    Brevet Wedge is the third novel in K.A. Bachus’s fast-paced Charlemagne Files series chronicling the lives of a team of deadly Cold War intelligence operatives over three decades.
