Description
The Adjacent by Christopher Priest In the aftermath of a devastating terrorist attack that annihilated hundreds of thousands in west London, Britain struggles to come to terms with its past. For Tibor Tarent, a freelance photographer, the connection between this tragedy and his wife's death is too much to bear. As he returns to Britain from Anatolia, he finds himself at the centre of an investigation that threatens to upend everything he thought he knew about reality. As the story unfolds, two seemingly unrelated events are revealed to be intertwined in unexpected ways. A century earlier, a stage magician was sent on a secret mission to render British reconnaissance aircraft invisible to the enemy, while in 1943, a woman pilot from Poland shared her desperate tale of escape with a young RAF technician. The present day holds its own secrets, as a theoretical physicist creates the first adjacency - a phenomenon that blurs the lines between truth and falsehood. With its unique blend of fiction and history, THE ADJACENT is a thought-provoking novel that challenges our perceptions of reality.
