First UK trade (large format : 153mm x 243mm) paperback with a full 1 to 10 number sequence indicating a first printing of this edition. Unread. Comes complete with the publisher’s publicity handout. “Oxford, England 2060 : where a trio of time travelling scholars prepares to depart for various corners of the Second World War. Their mission: to observe, from a safe vantage point, the day-to-day nature of life during this critical historical moment. As the action ranges from the evacuation of Dunkirk to the manor houses of rural England to the quotidian horrors of London during the Blitz, the objective nature of their roles gradually changes. Cut off from the safety net of the future and caught up in the chaotic events that make up history, they are forced to participate, in unexpected ways, in the defining events of the era. BLACKOUT is an ingeniously constructed time travel novel. It is a moving, exquisitely detailed portrait of a world under siege, a world dominated by chaos, uncertainty, and the threat of imminent extinction.” IN STOCK FOR IMMEDIATE DESPATCH
