The Awakening

Miracles can and do happen, and in 1968 the most extraordinary event in the history of medicine takes place - classical violinist Daniel Baines wakes from a comma he's been in for 31 years. To his astonishment Daniel finds he hasn't aged!



The hospital's neuro-surgeon sees an opportunity to make history and a fortune. But so does an unscrupulous medical foundation and the media, desperate to hunt Daniel down as he tries to escape unwanted publicity.



Suffering from amnesia, he's unaware of momentous world events. With the help of his physiotherapist, and also his kindly aunt, he tries to piece together his life before the accident - what happened to his family, and his wife...?



The ultimate question - will Daniel ever play the violin again?



Another cleverly plotted tale from Paul Smith - engrossing and compulsive reading!
