What would it be like to leave your body behind when you fall asleep?
Shaun Strong knows. He's been doing it since he was a boy.
Unfortunately, Shaun is also a doormat who goes along with whatever his self-proclaimed genius friend Keith suggests. Two losers and a special power (even one with significant restrictions...) make for a volatile combination.
Setting up as small-time blackmailers, they stumble upon a plot hatched by a Surrey tech entrepreneur who pictures himself as a Nietzschean superman.
When blackmail turns to murder, Shaun discovers that even if you're an astral traveller, sometimes there's nowhere to hide...
And now he's dead. Not for the first time...
PROJECTION is a hilarious mind-bending, body-swapping, (sub) urban fantasy/thriller; a magical realist satire that addresses voyeurism, the nature of identity, contemporary masculinity, and taxidermy.
Having accidentally manifested himself at a murder scene, Shaun and the killer race to hunt one another down. Captured, held prisoner in an empty office building and forced to serve as a psychic spy, Shaun's attempts to escape lead him into the first of several fatal accidents...
But then he comes back. Different from before. And with some unlikely assistance, he goes looking for revenge.
PROJECTION is the debut novel by Alan Boyce.
