Blackout has a bit of a slow start, but the background is necessary as it offers clues to why they are trapped and how they are to survive in situations that they haven't studied.

In this novel we see four young historians travel to WW2 to observe events. Mike is sent to observe Dover and Dunkirk evacuations, Polly is to observe shop girls and people of London during the Blitz, Eileen is sent to Warwickshire to a manor which is taking care of young evacuees from London and Phipps purpose is a little secretive. When there time drops don't work to return home Eileen and Mike make their way to London to use Eileen's drop but when they discover that her drop is also broken and no retrieval teams have been sent they decide to seek out Phipps. This is a really good book. Very well researched and written. Characters and events are so real.
