From the author of Islander and Underbridge Forever, the third book in a loosely connected trilogy. Young geologist David Corwen and his doctorate student Alex Findlay come across eminent Professor Allan Sharnbrook doing research on a Scottish island. He seems to know everything about geology. He knows how the famous men of the past built the foundations of the science, and has very strong views on how to achieve academic success now. Can he help them both with their careers, or will he instead simply humiliate and destroy them? Gold and Stone explores the nature of scientific truth and lies, what it takes to do proper research, and the lengths some people will go for their work to be recognised. With a cast of familiar and unfamiliar characters, and famous locations on the East Coast of Scotland to visit, get your hammer, hand lens and notebook ready, grab your waterproofs and your packed lunch, get on board the motor yacht Gryphaea, and get ready for fieldwork
