The Mainland is the second book released from the Sugar City Archives ยง and also the second part of the trilogy Alba Lands. In it, the citizens of Island Cigam who managed to escape to the Mainland now have tougher obstacles to deal with both physically and mentally. As with the Forgotten Winter - the Mainland is narrated by a native and told through the journals of a boy from Earth. Written mainly in English, some parts are a composition of Scots (mostly Lallans) - a dying, Anglic language of Scotland - constructed with slang, dialects and other forgotten tongues of the land. While understanding the Scots is not inherent to the story a translation link is provided should you require. But if you know as little as Alba then you can experience his plight.The intended way to read the series is with background musical accompaniment (mostly instrumental: Electronic & Classical). This is not for everyone of course, but if you wish then find the recommended track and link before each chapter (via YouTube). If the exact track is missing you can use something similar. For both musical and visual accompaniment visit Zomgbat.Wordpress.com (Original tracks & artwork to follow)You may be hitherto thinking that this is not the story or genre for you. If so, remember that so much more is possible than you can't even imagine. For example, there are already more stars in the observable universe than grains of sand on Earth. Or that a certain species of jellyfish is immortal. Our world is so tiny, and there are such powerful things beyond it.
