  "The Kingmaker of Muguland" is a gripping political thriller set in the heart of a fictional African country blessed with immense wealth, natural resources, and intelligent citizens, yet plagued by corruption, greed, and mismanagement.

  The novel takes readers on an intense journey through Muguland's chaotic political system, where ambition knows no bounds, power is seized rather than earned, and the people's cries for change are met with violent suppression.

"The Kingmaker of Muguland" is not just a fictional tale of power—it's a chilling reflection of the realities many nations face today. Through cunning strategies, relentless ambition, and the moral price of power, the book explores the devastating effects of corruption on a country with limitless potential.

  'Myles Foley gripped my soaked jumper. Before his ship sank he was a Nazi: now he's a drowning sailor. Out here, we are all sailors. Your father and grandfather understood that. Are you going to disgrace their memory?'
  Part historical fiction, part extraordinary coming-of-age tale, The Lonely Sea and Sky charts the maiden voyage of fourteen-year-old Jack Roche aboard a tiny Wexford ship, the Kerlogue, on a treacherous wartime journey to Portugal. After his father's ship is sunk on this same route, Jack must go to sea to support his family swapping Wexford's small streets for Lisbon's vibrant boulevards: where every foreigner seems to be a refugee or a spy, and where he falls under the spell of Katerina, a Czech girl surviving on her wits. Bolger's new novel is based on a real-life rescue in 1943, when the Kerlogue's crew risked their lives to save 168 drowning German sailors - members of the navy that had killed Jack's father. Forced to choose who to save and who to leave behind, the Kerlogue grows so dangerously overloaded that no one knows if they will survive amid the massive Biscay waves. A brilliant portrayal of those unarmed Irish ships that sailed alone through hazardous waters; of young romance and a boy encountering a world where every experience is intense and dangerous, this is Bolger's most spellbinding novel, and the work of a master storyteller who is one of Ireland's best-known novelists, playwrights and poets.
