One of Spectra's most prestigious authors returns with one of the most highly anticipated novels on our list, now in trade paperback. Celebrated and award-winning author Connie Willis returns with her first novel since 2002 with Blackout, an epic time-traveling story that follows three narratives of three researchers from the future stranded in the past during World War II. Eileen is researching the Children's Evacuation from a remote country manor, where she is stuck tending to two of the worst children in history. Polly is masquerading as a London shop girl while she studies people's behavior during the Blitz. And Mike is exploring what makes everyday people turn into heroes at the evacuation of Dunkirk. But when each of their drops to the future refuses to open, these three refuges must somehow find each other and figure out how to return to their own time--before it is too late. Told with passion, humor, and a historian's understanding of the period, Blackout once again proves why Willis is so beloved by critics and readers alike.
