  "Jimmie Higgins" by Upton Sinclair is a poignant exploration of working-class struggles and idealism during World War I. The story follows Jimmie, a spirited Socialist and labor activist, as he navigates the challenges of poverty, patriotism, and political disillusionment. Initially fervently anti-war, Jimmie’s convictions are tested when he joins the military, exposing him to the harsh realities of conflict and propaganda. Sinclair delves into themes of class struggle, loyalty, and the cost of ideological compromise. Through Jimmie’s journey, the novel critiques the exploitation of workers and the moral contradictions of war. A blend of social commentary and personal drama, it captures the tension between individual ideals and societal pressures in a rapidly changing world.

  "Have you seen this?" An innocent enough question, asked millions of times around the world every day, but tonight it will lead to a shocking, violent event that destroys multiple lives. 
  Glaswegian forklift truck driver Jack is quietly enjoying his tea break when a friend shows him something on the internet. Outrage follows, quickly spreading through social media, and within hours an angry mob has formed to put the world to rights. Modern justice is soft, as Jack knows, so perhaps it's time things were done like they were in the good old days... 
  Steven A. McKay is the bestselling author of numerous historical fiction novels and short stories including The Druid, The Heathen Horde, and Wolf's Head. "Have You Seen This?" is his first foray into the modern thriller genre and is every bit as powerful as his previous tales, making the reader ponder the very nature of our present reality, and just where technology is leading us. 
  Enjoy this gripping short story that will leave you questioning humanity's place in the future and, more worryingly, whether it's too late to do anything about it... 
  Based on a real event. 
  "A cracking tale!" ***** - David's Book Blurg 
  PRAISE FOR STEVEN A. McKAY's OTHER BOOKS

McKay has written a truly riveting depiction of the life of a slave. If you only read one more book this year, it should be Lucia." - Sharon Bennett Connolly, author of Silk and the Sword 
  "The Warrior Druid of Britain books are destined, I feel, to become classics of Historical Fiction." - Speesh Reads
