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?

Rip roaring good yarn
I thoroughly enjoyed this and read/listened (with whisper sync) in just a few days. The general concept is very inventive and certainly gets you pondering the very question of time. I would agree with other reviewers that a very strong start to the book does not quite manage to make it through to the end - which is somewhat weak and unsatisfactory by comparison. However, again like another reviewer, I find it hard to see what else could have been done. It is read very well in general, but the 'voice' used for Hugh Stanton was so at odds with my imagined sound of him that this did prevent me from giving the full 5 stars. However please don't be put off by the few misgivings I have about this book, it may not be 100% perfect but this is well worth a listen.

Didn't want it to end
This was a really intriguing story which kept me gripped throughout. Although the plot sounds implausible, it was very entertaining and I would recommend this as an excellent listen

An unmissable tale of Time
Absolutely riveting....I thoroughly recommend this fascinating tale . Let humans never try to change the course of history. I loved everything about this story, and it was read so very well by the narrator.

Gripping attempt to stop WW1
Fast paced thriller about an attempt to reorder the course of history using a loophole identified by Issac Newton. As with most of Ben Elton's stories, the novel just doesn't go where you expect it to go - in a good way. Jot Davies' excellent narration delivers the urgency required whilst keeping clear characterisation. Recommended.

Great idea, good fun but feels rushed
Would you listen to Time and Time Again again? Why?
Yes - but not for a while, and as the plot depends on a few big twists towards the end I'd need to do my best to forget them. It's still an entertaining story, pretty well told.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Time and Time Again?
The big plot twist about an hour before the end. I didn't see it coming!
Have you listened to any of Jot Davies’s other performances? How does this one compare?
No - but he's not bad. Some decent characterizations and he copes well with some of the author's occasionally clunky dialogue.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Not really - a few moments are intended to (the Serbian flower girl, for instance, and the two love stories) - but it's too fast moving for these parts to have too much resonance.
Any additional comments?
This is an odd one. I found the main idea and overall story to be thrilling and beautifully told, despite a few cheesy moments . (Stanton calling his mentor "Prof", for instance). The plotting is tight with some very fine twists and turns - one actually not that far into the book. The actual writing, however, struck me as a bit rushed and sloppy, as if the book were submitted without one final "polish". The ending is very hurried. I have no problem with what actually happens - it all just feels "reported" and tossed off in a few minutes whereas there is quite a lot of forensic detail earlier in the book. The twist an hour before the end, though, I didn't see coming at all, so I found very satisfying. So, both a very fine listen and a touch frustrating at the same time!

Really gripping but slightly ran out of steam
If you could sum up Time and Time Again in three words, what would they be?
Clever, engaging idea,
What was one of the most memorable moments of Time and Time Again?
Return to the cellar
What about Jot Davies’s performance did you like?
His characterisation and tone for Hugh Stanton was spot on
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
A couple of "oh no" moments because of sympathy for fate of Hugh
Any additional comments?
Another brilliant Ben Elton book, thought provoking and clever but written with a light touch. Slightly fizzled out at the end but no idea how a better ending could have been achieved

Gripping from the first page!
What made the experience of listening to Time and Time Again the most enjoyable?
First Ben Elton book, and was not disappointed.
Fast paced and gripping. I also learned the basics of the WWI and what happened, which I have always struggled with.
Some great unseen twists too.
