Blaize

The River Thames stinks. Red coated soldiers spit blood from the muzzles of their muskets. The itching uniform tears at his skin. Blaize keeps coming and going. He doesn't know where, or when, or why. All he knows is that he doesn't like it. And when a man keeps appearing with the same face but a different name and in a different time, he begins to get even more worried. Is this man saving him from danger, or pushing him deeper and deeper into it? And when he arrives at Barton High, Blaize's proper life and the ones into which he keeps finding himself pushed combine with terrifying results. Time travel might look like great fun on TV, but in real life it is anything but. Not that this is the only problem Blaize is facing. Why is his best mate fading before his eyes? Will he ever manage to go a day without arguing with his sister? Who is the mysterious Wise, and why does he appear to be so familiar? Still, not everything is bad. Blaize is the main man in his school football team and they are on a run. One which could take them to glory, if other events don't intervene. From a stinking room in London of four hundred years ago, to the battlefields of Ypres, Blaize bounces like a ball passed between expert footballers. His life is out of control. Somebody or something is driving him back and forth and he wants to know why. Before it is too late, and he becomes stranded in the past. Alan Peters' debut novel is an enthralling, exciting and uplifting adventure into hell...and hopefully back.
