Andrew MacAllan is the pseudonym used by James Leasor for sweeping, high-octane sagas set across Asia, Africa and the world of commerce—stories of risk, ambition and reinvention told on a grand canvas. The MacAllan novels carry Leasor’s trademark pace and detail, shifting from trading houses and takeover battles to aviation feats, diamond rushes and the human cost of power.

Chiselbury publishes the full MacAllan list, including Fanfare (an India–and–Afghanistan coming-of-age forged in war and exile), Traders (prophecy, piracy and Prohibition on a globe-spanning quest), Generation (a hostile bid for control of the Trinity-Trio conglomerate amid post-war upheaval), Succession (the rise of Trinity-Trio from Far Eastern trading to a multinational dynasty), Diamond Hard (twins chasing fortune through South Africa’s diamond fever and beyond), and Speculator (inventors, aviators and an arms baron colliding across two world wars).

These novels are Leasor at his most expansive: big stories, big stakes, characters tested to breaking point—and always that unmistakable storytelling drive that keeps the pages turning.
