Publisher's Summary:
Its 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?

Members Reviews:
Don't Mess With Yesterday!
What happens when a bunch of academic historians actually get the opportunity to change history? Well, I think you can imagine that the results are not what they expected - and not necessarily of benefit to the present and future.
This is an often fascinating look at alternative histories, of the "be-careful-what-you-wish-for" variety. There's lots of action and some quirky and interesting characters in both the past and present sections of the book. For time travel genre fans, it's a real winner with excellent narration.
If, like me, you tend to find yourself asking too many questions and thinking too many "but"s, just remember to suspend that gut disbelief in the whole concept - you'll have a good time inside "Time and Time Again"!

Excellent Read, Edge of Seat, Smart
Haven't we all fantasized about going back in time and stopping the seaming domino-effect of the shot heard round the world. What if... Ben Elton (who, astonishingly is the same Ben Elton who co-wrote Black Adder(s) amongst other great, comical TV) creates a seemingly plausible time travel drama to end the War to End All Wars and setting up cause and effect that has you leaning in to see what will happen next. Clever, sad, occasionally harrowing, but excellent. This has started me on a time travel book bender. I hope I can find as good. Now to check out other Elton books...

Things could always be worse
An exceptional book and one which should be read by any history student and professor alike. Entertaining while being historically accurate mixed with fascinating characters leaves you unable to unplug the audiobook for any long period of time.
The plot centers around a time travelers sent back to 1914 in order to stop the Great War. Naturally attempts to do this by stopping the assignation of arch duke Franz Ferdinand and by assinating Kieser Wilhelm II do not go as smoothly as planned by the Cambridge elite and its knock on affects gives the reader great pause about how some unlikely events lead to the formation of the world we live in today, when compared to other outcomes.

Similar But Yet So Much Different From 11/22/63
Any additional comments?
Ben Elton's Time and Time Again is very similar, but yet so much different from Stephen Kings 11/22/63. Like King's novel, the protagonist travel's back into the past via a time-portal to stop a political assassination; Archduke Franz Ferdinand replacing President John F. Kennedy. Yet unlike King's novel, Elton's protagonist, being a highly trained ex-SAS officer, has relatively little difficulty in achieving his mission.
