Ten years on from his misadventures in
'Out of the Sun',Harry Barnett is leading a contented life in Vancouver with his
wife and daughter.Back in England to clear
his recently deceased mother's home,Harry
bumps into old acquaintances from his National Service days.As RAF conscripts in
1955,they had all been guinea pigs in a psychological experiment at a Scottish castle.When Harry is invited to attend a fiftieth-anniversary reunion,he decides to go along.
It is to be a lavish affair,courtesy of one old conscript who has made spectacularly good in the interim.And it will bring Harry's old chum and dodgy business partner Barry Chipchase back into
his life,along with other half-forgotten friends - and foes.
But the apparent suicide of one of their number even before their train has reached
its destination shocks them all,and soon after their arrival another comrade dies in suspicious circumstances.There are sinister differences of recollection about
unexplained events at the castle back in the 1950's,and Harry and Barry find themselves plunged into a struggle for their very survival - and for possession of an extraordinary and dangerous secret, knowledge of which may make this their last reunion.See also,rja30998 for an UNSIGNED,1st edn of the same title.
