This is what Headline says the book is about: "In his darker moments, Martin Rosenthal can't help but compare the trajectory of his life with that of his grandather, Frank. On the one hand, school, A-levels, going to university. On the other, a fighter pilot in the Battle of Britain, later transferring to bombers, a final blaze of glory... For Martin his own earth-bound existence seems like a scale-model of the real thing, his obsession with aeroplanes a pale imitation of Frank's. But all that is about to change. First the enigmatic Chrisantha introduces Martin to the weightless pleasure and crashing pain of love, then her brother Rupert involves him in a break-in at the university lab, searching for evidence of a secret weapons project. Suddenly Martin's life is spiralling out of control, leading him into a dangerous labyrinth of truth, lies and illusions - with the ghost of his grandfather lurking at the centre." | |
