Doug Johnstone: From Crime to Sci-Fi

Scottish author Doug Johnstone is well known for his thrilling crime novels, but he’s been garnering just as much acclaim for his exciting new departure into sci-fi with The Collapsing Wave. An epic first contact novel full of questions and a juicy sequel to The Space Between Us, it sees a Scottish family confront either utopia, or the end of the human race… Today he talks with Katalina Watt about his remarkable new direction.
