It's Jubilee, the 50th Anniversary of Grenada's independence. The Commonwealth & Monarchy live in the past. The Chinese are self-seeking; the Americans are absent.

Oisin Finnegan-disavowed spy, scientist, and chronic drinker-arrives to do research. At his side is Patricia Arnold, a marine biologist who wants to protect the fragile ecosystems and spirit of her homeland.

But beneath the festivities, something is stirring. Soon, the two stumble into the middle of a deadly conspiracy. Oisin must choose whether to continue on his path of self-destruction, or to find new purpose. Together with Patricia and a handful of unlikely allies, they will need to disrupt a plan that could reshape the balance of power, and change Grenada forever.

A story of second chances and quiet courage, David J. Devine's UNCOMMONWEALTH is a tense, fiercely human political thriller.
