Change them in time for Princess Vicky to take the Brittish throne. What would I do? Would I need to kill? As a bit of a history buff, I found myself thinking about succession laws. The cover of Ben Elton’s ‘Time and time again asks a direct question…”If you had one chance to change history…Where would you go? What would you do? Who would you kill?” Yes, okay, technically three questions but I found myself pondering his questions long before I started reading the book. An unending succession of cause and effect ripple after ripple of consequence. When done well they are the logic puzzle of the fiction world. I am an absolute sucker for a what if novel. But can a single bullet truly corrupt an entire century?Īnd, if so, could another single bullet save it? Book Review by J.A.
A war that will begin with a single bullet. He knows this because, for him, that century is already history. A collective suicidal madness that will destroy European civilization and bring misery to millions in the century to come. Stanton knows that a great and terrible war is coming. No one he has ever known or loved has been born yet. It’s the 1st of June 1914 and Hugh Stanton, ex-soldier and celebrated adventurer is quite literally the loneliest man on earth.
