Pip is living a quiet life as an excavation leader in Scottish archaeology. He is a trusted friend and a talented professional who has been digging through the soil in the pursuit of knowledge for over twenty years. And while there are no major problems in Pip’s life, he’s just a tad bored…Then enters Jacki – a woman who represents an extraordinary alien race capable of interstellar travel. She is proposing a job that would take Pip and his select few to a distant planet, thousands of light-years from Earth. A planet that is inhospitable to humans. A planet that is desolate and that has been void of life for millennia as its old inhabitants took to the stars and never looked back – until now!The obstacles are monolithic, and while Pip and his crew have the know-how and the alien technology to match the challenges of the dig, they may fall short of other perils that this dead world has to offer. Digging in Space is written by professional field-archaeologist, and lifelong sci-fi enthusiast, Fredrik Gustavsson. It is science-fiction with strong elements of realism. And while it takes a professional archaeologist to write this book it does not take one to enjoy it!Reviews:“… it was a worthy read. I’m an avid reader and have been since my childhood; I can confidently say that there was nowhere in Digging in Space that I would consider a waste of my time. Well done.” – Richard Odey, Author.

From the preface: Current physics and cosmology have left us with a confusion of empirically-derived models which do not yet combine into a coherent structure and which are most often ad hoc. Wegener is surely right in believing that the only way to tackle this problem is to go back to the foundations, and he has used skills acquired in many different disciplines to show us that a coherent solution is now within our grasp. I thoroughly enjoyed reading his book. Peter Rowlands, Physics Department, University of Liverpool.
