Traveling back in time, from Oxford circa 2060 into the thick of World

War II, was a routine excursion for three British historians eager to

study firsthand the heroism and horrors of the Dunkirk evacuation and

the London Blitz. But getting marooned in war-torn 1940 England has

turned Michael Davies, Merope Ward, and Polly Churchill from temporal

tourists into besieged citizens struggling to survive Hitler's

devastating onslaught. And now there's more to worry about than just

getting back home: The impossibility of altering past events has always

been a core belief of time-travel theory - but it may be tragically wrong.

When discrepancies in the historical record begin cropping up, it

suggests that one or all of the future visitors have somehow changed the

past - and, ultimately, the outcome of the war.

Award-winning author Connie Willis returns with a stunning, enormously entertaining novel of time travel, war, and the deeds - great and small - of ordinary people who shape history.

A page turning thriller - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BLACKOUT depicts the times and the spirit of the British people remarkably vividly, and bits of comic relief leaven any somberness. Characterizations of the historians and the Brits they become close to are multifaceted and believable, and the ending leaves us keenly primed for the sequel - BOOKLIST STARRED REVIEW on Blackout A novelist who can plot like Agatha Christie and whose books possess a bounce and stylishness that Preston Sturges might envy - WASHINGTON POST
