Esperance and The Transcendent Tide: Adam Oyebanji and Doug Johnstone with Ann Landmann

✍ Science Fiction, Thriller, Adventure

Host Ann Landmann chairs a discussion between two masters of the sci-fi genre. 

Adam Oyebanji’s Esperance is an extraordinary thriller about the scars left by the Atlantic slave trade. In it, detective Ethan Krol is called to a murder scene where a man and his son have been drowned in seawater. However, the nearest ocean is a thousand miles away. Meanwhile, Hollie Rogers makes a new friend, Abi Eniola. Abi claims to be an ordinary woman from Nigeria, but her high-tech gadgets and extraordinary physical abilities suggest otherwise. As Ethan's investigation begins to point towards Abi, Hollie's fears mount that Abi is not who she seems.

Doug Johnstone’s The Transcendent Tide is the epic conclusion to the Encedalons Trilogy — a final showdown between the best and worst of humanity, the animal kingdom and the alien species. The future of life on earth will be changed forever, but not everyone will survive to see it. Set eighteen months after the Enceladons escaped the clutches of an American military determined to exterminate the peaceful creatures, this is a profound, ambitious, and immensely moving finale. Scottish science fiction at its very best.
