Commonwealth Games Glasgow

If you’ve ever wondered about what goes on and what a city has to do in order to prepare for a huge sporting event such as the Commonwealth Games, then this novel set in the run up to the 2014 games will give you a good and thrilling idea.

Security is tight yet everyone is nervous with a bomb attack taking place not far from the city itself. The Games are a huge and ambitious event with visitors coming to the city from all over the world.

The Games are a huge honour for the city and the months leading up to them are fraught with both excitement and danger.

The bomb explosion took place near to Loch Lomond and was ‘inspired’ by a real event which took place in November 2010.
