In Doug Johnstone’s The Space Between Us we meet Lennox, a
troubled teenager with no family, Ava who is eight months pregnant and fleeing
her abusive husband and Heather, a grieving mother and cancer sufferer. They
don't know each other, but when a meteor streaks over Edinburgh, all three
suffer instant, catastrophic strokes...only to wake up the following day in
hospital, miraculously recovered. When news reaches them of an octopus-like
creature washed up on the shore near where the meteor came to earth, Lennox
senses that some extra-terrestrial force is at play.
HellSans is written in three parts. Parts one
and two can be read in either order which provides a unique approach to the
perspectives of the haves and have-nots in the run-up to the revolutionary
conclusion.
Exploring the natural world with the wonder and reverence we usually reserve for the stars, In Ascension by Martin MacInnes is a compassionate, deeply inquisitive epic that reaches outward to confront the greatest questions of existence, looks inward to illuminate the smallest details of the human heart, and shows how - no matter how far away we might be and how much we have lost hope - we will always attempt to return to the people and places we call home.
Leigh grew up in Rotterdam, drawn to the waterfront as an
escape from her unhappy home life and volatile father. Enchanted by the
undersea world of her childhood, she excels in marine biology, travelling the
globe to study ancient organisms. When a trench is discovered in the Atlantic
ocean, Leigh joins the exploration team, hoping to find evidence of the earth's
first life forms - what she instead finds calls into question everything we
know about our own beginnings.
Chaired by Kavan Stafford.
