From the author of "The Beach." "A young man is brutally assaulted late at night on an Underground train by a gang of thugs. Beaten unconscious, he lies for days in a hospital bed--but appears to make a full recovery. On discharge from hospital, Carl picks up threads of his daily life, visiting friends, seeing his girlfriend--until he starts to notice strange leaps in his perception of time, distortions in his experience. Is he truly reacting with the outside world, or might he be terribly mistaken?"
