After the sudden death of his mother, videogames journalist Gordon Freeman arrives home to the small Scottish village of Dunure to attend the funeral. He and his retired physicist father are forced to confront the events of the tragic accident which caused their estrangement when Gordon was a teenager, and which left Gordon's best-friend Danny in a coma. When Gordon meets local artist, Gail, he realises all is not what it seems in the village. Could a supernatural occurrence in his back garden have opened up a portal to another world? And what links this with Gail's paintings, and the mysterious, supernatural photograph of the spaceman that Gordon first saw in his teens, and which indirectly led to Danny's accident? The Spaceman is the first of three books that make up the novel Many Worlds Apart. Excerpts of reviews from Scribophile: "I was intrigued...Is the world as we know it some kind of cosmic reality game?" Stephen Lamont. "An interesting story with much mystery." Michael Bee.
