Description
If you had one chance to change history... Where would you go? What would you do? Who would you kill?
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 civilisation 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?
Time and Time Again explores these questions and more in a gripping narrative.
