Professor Archie Edminston Roy, also published as Archie E. Roy and A.E. Roy, was educated at Hillhead High School and the University of Glasgow. He was married to Frances with three sons; Dr. Archie W.N. Roy, Ian Roy and David Roy.
Professor Roy was a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, the Royal Astronomical Society, and the British Interplanetary Society. He was also a Member and past President of the Society for Psychical Research and Founding President of The Scottish Society for Psychical Research.
The asteroid (5806) Archieroy is named after him, with a registration in the IAU's Minor planet center. He has also been elected a member of the European Academy of Arts, Sciences and the Humanities. He was a Patron of the Churches Fellowship (Scotland) for Psychical and Spiritual Studies and a member of the Scientific and Medical Network. Archie Roy conducted research in astrodynamics, celestial mechanics, archaeoastronomy, psychical research, and neural networks.
In addition Roy has published 20 books, six of them novels, some 70 scientific papers and scores of articles. His books have been published in the United Kingdom, United States, France, Russia, Italy and India.
In 2004 he was awarded the Myers Memorial Medal for outstanding contributions to psychical research by the Society for Psychical Research.
A good solid adventure story with hints of Buchan and Wheatley about it.
Michael Scott is sent to Mull to help discover why Ruth Lorimer drowned herself. Scott is soon sucked into a web of deceit, parapsychology and the occult.
The book cracks along throughout its 184 pages. Scott is a sympathetic character who has a fortunate knack of accidentally surrounding himself with beautiful young women - a little wish-fulfilment on Professor Roy's part, methinks.
Very 1970s but the descriptions of beautiful Mull are timeless.
This is the second of Archie Roy's books I've read and, while they are of their time, they are also very different. Looking forward to the next one.
