The Flitspace

Stewart Cable

KEY SELLING POINTS
An exciting, funny adventure story set in Northwest Scotland.
A novel which explores the possibilities of new worlds and universes as well as encouraging readers to think
about the world around us.
What would Scotland have looked like if humans had never existed?

Ru-um and his younger brother Cali, on holiday in Northwest Scotland, go missing while on a walk to an ancient,
ruined broch. Last seen with the mysterious girl, Amelia, they are eventually found several days later, unharmed,
but with Cali now inexplicably older than Ru-um.

The story breathlessly follows the boys as Amelia takes them deep under the broch to the Flitspace - a
gateway to another world identical to their own but completely uninhabited, except for the descendants of a
small tribe who fled from Scotland one thousand years ago. However, Amelia hasn’t told them the whole truth
of her world, or of the strange aging properties of the Flitspace. The boys quickly find themselves in conflict
with Amelia’s powerful brother Mor-Ri and his enigmatic advisor known as Minister. With Amelia’s help, their
own knowledge of the landscape, and the discovery of megafauna not seen in present day Scotland, the boys
attempt to thwart Mor-Ri’s plans and escape back to their own world.

Stewart Cable lives in Dumfriesshire with his family and has spent every summer in Assynt in Northwest
Scotland. This, his first novel, is part love-letter to that wonderful area. Stewart loves any kind of outdoor
adventure, whether on land or sea, especially if accompanied by his wife and two boys.
