Publisher Description
'The best I've read of Elton's many bestsellers' The Times
Imagine a world where no one you have ever known or loved has been born yet. Perhaps they never will be.
1st June 1914: this is Hugh Stanton's reality. Ex-soldier and celebrated adventurer, he is is quite literally the loneliest man on earth.
Stanton knows that a great and terrible war is coming. A collective suicidal madness that will destroy European civilization and bring misery to millions in the century to come.
He knows this because, for him, that century is already history.
Somehow he must change that history. He must prevent the war.
A war that will begin with a single bullet. But can a single bullet truly corrupt an entire century?
And, if so, could another single bullet save it?
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Prolific British writer Ben Elton puts his lively imagination to good use with this dramatic tale of tragedy, redemption and time travel. After the death of his family, retired army captain Hugh Stanton is morose and apathetic. But when his Cambridge mentor recruits him for a risky mission that could alter the course of 20th-century history, Stanton reconnects with his adventurous spirit. Bursting with vivid imagery and surprising twists, Time and Time Again is a wildly entertaining page-turner.
Customer Reviews
Fantastic
It’s slow to get going, but once you get into it, it’s unstoppable. Couldn’t put it down. Highly recommended!
Mans ability to fiddle
I loved this book, it kept me wrapped up in the intrigue. The twists and turns lead always back to the question we sometimes ask ourselves ... if we could change history, what would we do, and ultimately would we get it right. The answer to this question I'll let you decide for yourself after reading the book. I think Ben got it right!

A great Sunday read. The future is what we make it, or is it?
