Publisher's Summary

It’s the 1st of June 1914 and Hugh Stanton, ex-soldier and celebrated adventurer is quite literally the loneliest man on earth. No one he has ever known or loved has been born yet. Perhaps now they never will be.

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?

I love a good plot

Twist and turns again and again. Well done Mr Elton. It's a theme that so many of us think of doing - what if I could go back in time and change history with a single bullet. This has been done with sniper like precision and a thinkers touch. Bravo!

A ripper read

What a great story, Ben Elton is a fantastic writer. As the storylines come together and the twists and turns kick in, I found myself totally caught up and desperately wanting to know what happens next. Jot Davies' narration is perfect and bring it to life. As soon as I finished it I restarted just to pick up all the clues I missed along the way.

Unmissable

I listened to this book whilst I was lying in the sunshine on a sun bed whilst sailing. This book kept me gripped and engaged throughout, and moreover it made me think about what would have happened if....
Ben Elton writes a ripper of a book, that keeps you coming back for more, this book took me to a new level of engagement and I couldn't put it down. This book takes twists and turns, and you won't be disappointed. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone to listen to, the narrator is fantastic. Totally unmissable...buy this today, you won't regret it....

Clever, engrossing, race to the end!

My first Ben Elton book and it was a cracker. It expands on an intriguing time-travelling premise, sets a great pace and is cleverly told. Definitely "hard to put down" and has a lot of twists and turns.

A very Ben Elton book

I’ve returned to Ben Elton having read and enjoyed all his early stuff.

This book is very much in the same mould, namely great concept and thought provoking ideas but paper thin characters that I just never really believe in.

Also, like any time travel book or film, you have to stop thinking about any of it after a while or it will just do your head in. Which sort of means you feel like there are just plot holes all over the place.

Anyway, was fine, narrated well and kept up a level of engagement.

A must read!

I first listened to this in 2014,and haven't been able to forget it. Relistening in 2023, and it's just as good as the first time through. Brilliantly narrated, compelling story. Worth every minute!

outstanding

It just kept surprising, teaching, and thrilling. Particularly valuable to those with a fascination with world history. Possibly the best fiction I have ever read. The narrator is also amazing. Voice acting is utterly believable.

Best of Ben Elton's books

Most memorable moment for me is the initial dialogue between Bernadette and Stanton. Also the reliasation that some good things will be lost by what he will set in train.
