Produktbeschreibung
Stan's past life catches up on him when his new wife is suddenly dragged into a mysterious portal that materialises within their cottage. Stan is forced to seek help from a local spiritualist medium. A plan of action is soon plotted and an unlikely team of rescuers are formed. The team encounter major problems when they find that maybe they have bitten off more than they had imagined. The time warp from the 20th century takes the team back to a portrayal of the 17th century where a village full of humanoids that have been resurrected from the dead, are under the influential control of ghastly sadistical, sub-terrainian creatures. The two separate but intermingling adventures of the rescue team and Stan's wife Charlie, see many twists and turns as to who will win over at the end.
Autorenporträt
Having left school at the age of fourteen, Peter Wright got his first job as a labourer in a chicken hatchery. This was followed by a year of Liberal Studies at Newbattle Abbey College, which he describes as life-changing. A career in youth work followed and he went on to become manager of the Duke of Edinburgh`s Award Unit in the City of Edinburgh Council; a post he held for over twenty years, during which he was awarded MBE. With his mantra of volunteering makes the world go round, Peter has been an exemplar of this throughout his adult life. From this, a diverse range of organisations and programmes, mainly charitable, have been variously founded or developed by him. This has included projects for young people - especially the disadvantaged, in heritage and environmental action. More recently he has been an activist in supporting the provision of education for girls amongst the Maasai People in Kenya. Writing was an accidental outcome of his epic 1,200km walk along the entire Watershed of Scotland when he was in his fifties, and he has been glad to share his experiences with ever-widening audiences. `Clearly, you are having a love affair . . . with the landscapes of Scotland`, was the perceptive comment by one of the editors of his first book, and he is known to be more than happy with this accolade.
