Review:

“Butts grounds the paranormal action in everyday life, and wraps up the story in a water-tight climax. An agreeable diversion for UFO enthusiasts.”
Publishers Weekly

“The suspense builds to a surprise climax that leaves you wondering: If time can stop can it also go backward?”
Booklist

From the Back Cover:

Joey, he remembered. His name was Joey. Waking up felt like swimming to the surface of an underground river, the air above as black and airless as the water below. He had been drifting in the darkness for a long time before he realised who he was...

When Joey wakes up, he knows that something is wrong. He's lying on a soft, warm mattress in a hospital bed – yet he knows that the night before he went to sleep in his tent by the lake. But Joey doesn't realise that the night before was actually two years ago – when he vanished from the campsite without a trace...

Joey appears to be completely unchanged. As he struggles to recover lost memories, trying to fit back in to a world that has moved on without him, Joey realises that he needs help. But who can he possibly turn to?

Then the voices start calling...
