Description
Book SynopsisMichael Young is a brilliant young history student whose life is changed when he meets Leo Zuckerman, an ageing physicist with a theory that can change worlds.
Together they realise that they have the power to alter history and eradicate a great evil. But tinkering with timelines is more dangerous than they can imagine and nothing - past, present or future - will ever be the same again.
''The tensions and resolutions are intrinsically comic, made still more enjoyable by [Fry''s] sinuous invention and cleverness at caricature'' Spectator
''Sprightly and entertaining'' Telegraph
Trade ReviewStephen Fry at his twinkling best * Sunday Times *
His best novel yet ... an extravagant, deeply questioning work of science fiction * GQ *
A sci-fi comedy that is also a time-travel thriller, constantly topical and always surprising... packed with the author's personal enthusiasm and hatreds, the former red-hot and the latter icy-black * Literary Review *
A powerful imaginative pull that keeps the pages turning while the tea goes cold and the cat gets the goldfish * The Independent *
A sprightly and entertaining read * Daily Telegraph *
