2005 novel by Chris Ryan (8)

I believe the answer is:

blackout

(Other definitions for blackout that I've seen before include "Fainting" , "Temporary loss of consciousness or electric power" , "Compulsory darkness during wartime, or temporary loss of memory" , "When power's gone" , "Period of darkness" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
