Encounters 2014 Countdown: 16 days to go - Libby McGugan

With 16 days to go until Encounter 2014 starts, we are announcing the visit of author Libby McGugan to Airdrie Library.

With her explosive debut title ‘The Eidolon’, Airdrie-native Libby McGugan signalled her arrival as a major new talent in the actionpacked blockbuster novel stakes. A thriller that explores the nature of reality with an edge-of-the-seat storyline, ‘The Eidolon’ mixes science, philosophy and espionage in a breakneck journey to the limits of the imagination and to the boundaries between the living and the dead.

The divide between science and the human spirit is the setting for a battle for the future - when physicist Robert Strong loses his job at the Dark Matter research lab and his relationship falls apart, he returns home to Scotland. Then the dead start appearing to him, and Robert begins to question his own sanity.

Victor Amos, an enigmatic businessman, arrives and recruits Robert to sabotage CERN’S Large Hadron Collider, convincing him the next step in the Collider’s research will bring about disaster for all humankind. Everything Robert once understood about reality and the nature of life and death is about to change forever, but the biggest change of all will be to Robert himself...

Join us to hear one of Scotland’s most exciting new novelists discuss her superb debut title, and the ideas and influences behind its creation.
