The Blasphemer is an exciting new novel, not easily forgotten, about what happens to a man of science when he is forced to question his own certainties.
On its way to the Galapagos Islands, a light aircraft crashes into the sea. Zoologist Daniel Kennedy is confronted with a stark Darwinian choice – should he save himself, or Nancy, the woman he loves? But how can one moment of betrayal ever be forgiven? And after he escapes the plane and swims for help, who is the elusive figure who guides him away from certain death?
The Blasphemer is a story about heroism, conditional love and the possibility of redemption. It is a novel of rare depth and ambition that sweeps from the trenches of the First World War to the terrorist-besieged streets of London today: a novel that will speak to the head as well as the heart of any reader.
