Professor Douglas Sinclair, a particle physicist, is thrown into
another world when his experimental dark energy facility on the
Isle of Mull explodes. The blast generates ripples in the
space-time continuum over the Scottish Highlands, which persist in
the form of aftershocks. Several days later, Andrew MacKenzie (a
boy who lives on the west coast of Scotland) is walking through a
pine forest, when he is confronted by a wolf. Just then, a ripple
in space-time passes through them, causing their minds to interact
on a quantum level. They are amazed when they find that they can
read each other's thoughts. Meanwhile, several cats have gone
missing in the district. Andrew and his friends decide to
investigate. They are shocked when they discover who is behind the
disappearance of the cats and why. This is a thrilling fantasy
adventure involving a desperate struggle between the children and a
secret occult organization called the Inner Circle, and culminates
in a mighty clash between ancient and deadly supernatural powers. -
- - - EXCERPT FROM BOOK. 'All of a sudden, they heard a hissing
noise in the chimney. Wheeling round, they saw a huge claw-like
hand and long arm emerging from the fireplace. Grabbing hold of the
Plaid, the hand proceeded to carry it up the chimney. With a great
leap, Grey Wolf sank his teeth into the hand. A piercing scream of
pain echoed down the chimney and the clawed hand's grip relaxed
just enough to allow the Plaid to unroll. Nevertheless, the hand
managed to maintain a firm grip on one end of the Plaid and started
to drag it up the chimney. 'As soon as Andrew saw the unrolled
Plaid, he grabbed hold of the free end and started to pull on it
with all his might. Quickly, Grey Wolf struggled to his feet and
ran to assist Andrew. Clamping his teeth into the fabric, he
started to pull on it alongside his friend. So began a desperate
tug-of-war. One minute, Andrew and the wolf would be dragged up the
chimney; the next, they would manage to get sufficient purchase on
the inner walls of the chimney breast to yank and drag the Plaid
down the chimney and back into the room. Then, the clawed hand
would give it another almighty pull, and they would be dragged up
the chimney once again. Back and forth they went. Four times the
Plaid got dragged up the chimney, and four times Andrew and the
wolf dragged it back down again. 'Then, to their amazement, the
Plaid turned jet black and was filled with tens of thousands of
stars and galaxies. All the violent pulling had activated it '
