Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Back To The Future meets Call My Agent in this enthralling high-concept debut novel from Channel 4 F1 presenter Steve Jones.

ONE CALL CAN CHANGE YOUR PAST.
AND F***-UP EVERYONE’S FUTURE . . .

Bob Bloomfield is not a nice man.
It’s kind of his brand.
The reason his celebrity clients pay him the big bucks.
And definitely not some messed up way of dealing with a terrible childhood tragedy

But then he finds a freaky ‘80s mobile phone.
One that can dial up the past.
And give him a chance to put things right.
Only Bob has forgotten one key detail:
he’s the last person you’d bank on doing the right thing …

The book is great. There were 2 little repetitions and the young Bob's words are missing from the initial phone call but aside from that it was spot on. Looking forward to the next one. Llongyfarchiadau Steve.

Da iawn Steve.

Such a well crafted story with instantly interesting characters in a story that surprises and is never predictable. Narrated brilliantly by the author himself. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It would make a terrific limited tv series if it was ever adapted. I'm going to take a chance on Steve Jones' next book now - who knew he could write?! Definitely recommend!!!

Unique, unexpected & engaging!

At the beginning I felt that Steve the narrator was rushing to read the story but he then got into a good pace. The story is a little far fetched but enjoyable and gripping who knows what the future holds

Strange and creepy

The story is a bit mad, it’s not for you if you like a story based on reality, but I loved it. It had quite a few twists that I didn’t really see coming.
