Loss of Separation by Conrad Williams
A new book from the three-times winner of the British Fantasy Society Award!
Commercial pilot Paul Roan is in command of a Boeing 777 when it is involved in a near miss. Nerves shot, he resigns and re-launches his life running a small hotel in a coastal village with his girlfriend, Tamara.
On the day they move to their new home, Paul is hit by a speeding car. Emerging six months later from a coma, he discovers that Tamara has left him, and the villagers, astonished by his cheating of death, now see him as a talisman. They bring him secrets too awful to deal with themselves. He burns the things they bring him, wishing he could rid himself of his own darkness. He is suffering from terrible dreams of a crippled black airliner screaming through the night, its pitted engines streaked with carbon and blood. He knows that, somehow, this jet – and its terrible cargo – is coming for him.
Conrad Williams, winner of the 2007 International Horror Guild Award for Best Novel and three-times winner of the British Fantasy Society Award, returns with another haunting, darkly atmospheric work.
“Conrad Williams writes dark and powerful prose balancing the poetic and elegant with needle-sharp incision.” – Keith Brooke, The Guardian
