Then he leaves and spends 9 mths in 1980 and returns at the exact moment he left in 2060. Voila, he is now one year older but it is still April 2nd, 2060. Then if Polly returns to the same day (April 2, 2060) from wherever she might go (say one week in 1941). Colin is now closer to her in age because she is only chronologically one week older, and he is chronologically one year older.(less)

Do I have to read blackout in order to understand All Clear or can it stand alone?

I won't spoil it, since The Doomsday Book is actually much better of a book than the WWII books(less)
