A volume in the series begun in 1997 Johnston and the following four volumes, but this version of the future Edinburgh is going through a significant transition. While the novel has the same main protagonist and a central concern is, as with the others, corruption at the heart of an Edinburgh supposedly modelled on Plato\’s\ Republic, the city has been opened to tourists, and there are plans to reunite with the other city-states that comprise the future Scotland.\ A sequel set in the same time period is Skeleton Blues. Sutton, Eng.: Severn House, 2016, in which the protagonist is fighting the usual corruption, but the novel ends with a successful revolution. The next novel in the series, Impolitic Corpses. Sutton, Eng.: Severn House, 2019, is set in the post-revolution future with Scotland reunited and reformed, but there is still corruption, greed, and struggles for power. The novel\’s ending requires a sequel.\
