Firewater is the name that was given by native Canadian Indians to
the powerful rum that was offered by the Hudson's Bay Company in
exchange for pelts. To ensure they were getting the genuine liquor,
Indian trappers would set a spoonful alight before accepting it in
trade. The Firewater novels recount a journey undertaken by
mismatched twin brothers, that sets out as a straightforward
business venture but develops into a troubled voyage bound for
disaster Firewater: Book Two: INSORCK follows the Kelly twins as
they continue their cruise through France, blissfully unaware that
they are carrying deadly weapons hidden in the starboard hull of
their catamaran. In hot pursuit is Lucretia, Supreme Commander of a
sinister international organization with its roots in the mediaeval
crusades. With her, is Assistant Superintendent Alfred Ramsbottom,
head of the ultra-secret M(Matilda) branch. Meanwhile, enigmatic
secret agent Violet is trying to thwart evil Lucretia. Bent on
reclaiming their stolen weapons, a dissident band of IRA terrorists
is also tracking the yacht Firewater. When the CIA set out to
recover the nuclear bombs, suspecting they may be aboard the
Irishmen's barge Pandaemonium, some dramatic events take place.
