My new novel:
The Aberdeen skies are under attack from an enemy jet. It is spilling a strange yellow smoke. Minutes later, people start killing each other.
Former Royal Air Force Regiment Gunner Jason Harper witnesses this and then his wife, Pippa, telephones him, shouting that she needs him. They then get cut off. He sets straight out, unprepared for the nightmare that unfolds during his journey. Everyone seems to want to kill him.
Along the way, he pairs up with fellow survivor Imogen. But she enjoys killing the living dead far too much. Will she kill Jason in her blood thirst? Or will she hinder his journey through this zombie filled dystopian landscape to find his pregnant wife?
The Fence is the first in this series of post-apocalyptic military survival thrillers from the torturous mind of local horror and science fiction novel writer C.G. Buswell.

It is interactive with a range of audio visual displays, uniforms for children to dress up in, mannequin displays showing famous battles involving The Gordon's, and their popular medal collection and weapon display. The medals collection includes 12 Victoria Crosses.
This is the Poppy Dolphin by artist Howard Butterworth which was at the entrance during the summer of 2014 as part of the Dolphin Sculptures trail.
It was originally the home of prominent Scottish artist Sir George Reid. When the Gordon Highlanders were based at their Barracks in King Street the building was used as the Regimental Headquarters. Rooms are still displayed and set out for mess dinners and formal functions with the Regimental silverware. These can be hired for functions. There is free parking and disabled access to the exhibition.
Have you seen my beautiful golden retriever Lynne out and about in Aberdeen? Ask her for a high-five! She's a Bravehound PTSD assistance dog, so we'll often be in shops, restaurants, and the cinema together.
We've written a book where I talk about growing up in Aberdeen and then joining the army to be a medic and nurse, and developing military Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
I also talk about losing my son to suicide and the therapy I have had at Royal Cornhill Hospital and grief support groups in Aberdeen.
The author, Damien Lewis, said of Lynne:
"A powerful account of what one dog means to one man on his road to recovery. Both heart-warming and life-affirming. Bravo Chris and Lynne. Bravo Bravehound."

Doted amongst the exhibition are many paintings of them in battle throughout the years dating back to the Peninsular War in Spain and Waterloo. Many exhibits are from the Great War and the Second World War including Far East Prisoner of War (FEPOW) memorabilia when many were taken Prisoner of War (POW) by the Japanese who captured Singapore. Do look out for the model of a close quarters battle in the streets of Germany with bombed out buildings.
ByDand was their motto which meant steadfast and their mascot is now ByDandy who gives educational talks to children and makes guest appearances throughout the year.
There are special events throughout the year at the Museum. These include talks by military leaders and military historians, a spooky tour of the exhibits on Halloween and the popular Christmas Fayre.
Do make time to visit the magnificent gardens where many plants commemorate the fallen soldiers. The gardens can be accessed through the cafe conservatory. Do make time for a drink and snack at the cafe; their banoffee tart is legendary.
A family history search is available for those whose relatives served in the Regiment.
Visit www.gordonhighlanders.com for opening times, special events and prices.
When leaving do visit the nearby Johnston Gardens Aberdeen park by turning right, then right again and following the road round to their free car park.
