14 Ben Elton: Books: Blast From The Past (1998)
"It's 12.15 a.m. and the phone wakes you. Only someone bad would
ring you at such an hour, or someone with bad news, which would
probably be worse. You hear the answer-machine kick in and feel
your heart beat. You listen. And then you hear the voice you least
expect - a blast from the past."
Jack Kent is a U.S. general stationed at Greenham Common (1980s
British home for American nuclear weapons during the 1980s), who
had an affair with Polly Sacred Cycle of the Womb and Moon, a
seventeen-year-old peace protester at the infamous Greenham Common
womens' camps outside the base.
Now a lonely thirty-something woman with an obsessed stalker
outside her home, Polly Slade is startled to receive a phone call
from Jack... Just what does he want?"
Published by Bantam and priced at £15.99, Ben is again living up to his
synergy credentials, as Blast From The Past has also been adapted
as a stage play... The book is available from Amazon UK at:
