Blackout

by Tim Heath

His birthday is ruined when his family vanishes. Stress is dangerous for Marcus, the chance of a blackout high. Yet everything he knew has changed. Were they imagined? Did the life he had ever happen? Or is something much bigger happening? Can he convince anyone he's not delusional? In Tim Heath's second screenplay-to-novel adaptation, he comes much closer to home, basing another novel in Tallinn, Estonia! This follows titles including The Song Birds , various volumes in The Hunt series, and a short story in Those Geese, They Lied; He’s Dead that were also partially or completely situated in the Estonian capital (the author’s home for more than a decade now). Fans of all his books will enjoy this easy read, one suitable for younger readers too because of the author's style and continued non-use of foul language, a hallmark of his, yet not lacking in storytelling technique or creative imagination.
