Heaven's Hill

 

R.B. Russell

 

Ruth Pritchard’s childhood friend, Oliver Dacey, works for GCHQ. When he starts hearing fanciful messages broadcast on shortwave radio, he discovers an ability to travel in time. He involves Ruth and inevitably, the authorities take an interest in them both. At the heart of the mystery is Oliver’s mother, Dee, who once directed them in games which bear an uncanny resemblance to the broadcast messages.

 

Ruth and Oliver travel back to 1965, and they find themselves to be the characters from their childhood games. It appears that Oliver’s mother is still directing them. It is a glamorous, but often confusing and frightening world.

 

This novel was first published by Zagava in 2021.

 

Reviews:

 

"Russell’s writing is effortlessly smooth and the flow of the story consistent, catching the reader’s attention from the first chapter. Scenes and interactions have impeccable and descriptive detail, and the trips back in time are an engrossing read. Heaven’s Hill is a wonderfully-fun read full of drama, mystery and time travel and one that any fan of these genres will proudly add to their collection."

Belinda Brady, Aurealis

 

"...a rollicking mash-up of all your favourite ITC shows such as 'The Champions', 'Jason King' and 'The Prisoner' alongside 'The Avengers' and a very healthy serving of 'Sapphire and Steel' through which Russell launches his characters on a mind bending journey through time . . . Don't be fooled though this is no mere pastiche but a love letter to a genre now pretty much consigned to history (and blogs like this one) but one written with an awareness of both it's absurdities and it's joie de vivre."

Ian Holloway, Wyrd Britain

 

"Russell's novel is a crazy rollercoaster ride about belief and doubt, science and the inexplicable, at the same time a wicked satire on the conspiracy theory nonsense of our time, part family history, part spy thriller and last but not least the question of how we are shaped by our own history and our parents, and why nostalgic attracts us so magically. One unpredictable twist follows the next. Once again, Russell has succeeded in creating a page turner."
