Joseph Bridgeman is back and dreaming of a quiet life. All he wants is to rekindle his relationship with Alexia Finch, get to know his estranged family, and catch up on the last 20 years.

Flung back to London in the swinging '60s, Joe must save an innocent woman and her son from the clutches of a ruthless gangster.

All Thomas Weaver wanted was death. What he got was time travel. Thomas Weaver, haunted by a teenage tragedy, lived a wasted life. He closed his eyes for what he believed was the last time in 2016, but opened them again in his teenage bedroom and body in 1976. Now a middle-aged man in his teenage body, he sets out to fix everything he did wrong in his first life. A budding serial killer in home room, a possible new romance, and high school algebra complicate his plans. What would you do, if you could do it all again?

Joseph Bridgeman - a reclusive insomniac with a weakness for The Beatles on vinyl - accidentally discovers he can time travel. With the help of Vinny, a local record shop owner, an old school friend, and Alexia Finch (his hypo-time-travel guru), Joe sets out to change the course of his life. He needs to get back to 1992, the year his world fell apart, the year his sister went missing. The only problem (apart from his clothes disappearing) is that the further back he goes the less time he gets to stay there. Can Joe master his new-found gift before time catches up with him?

Summary
The world is falling apart in 2055. Floods have devastated London on the eve of the First Space War. With the city locked down, 16-year-old Mathew Erlang is confined to his house with only his cat, his robot and his holographic dragons for company.
Desperate for a distraction from the chaos around him, Mathew becomes fascinated by his peculiar and reclusive neighbour, August Lestrange. Mathew begins to investigate Mr. Lestrange, turning to the virtual world of the Nexus and Blackweb for answers. But as he digs deeper, Mathew realises that Mr. Lestrange doesn't seem quite human.
When Mathew accidentally finds himself trapped in Lestrange's house, he opens a door and falls 400 years into the future. Unwittingly, he starts to destabilise the course of human history.
The Boy Who Fell from the Sky delves into a future where climate change and technology have transformed the world. It is the first book in The House Next Door trilogy, a young adult dystopian science fiction action adventure.

Classic in the making
Would you consider the audio edition of The Boy Who Fell from the Sky to be better than the print version?
I very much enjoyed listening to the audio version of the story, and I think the performer is well suited to the audience.
What did you like best about this story?
This is a wonderfully imagined and believable dystopian future. The author is clearly an expert futurologist and, whilst the environmental and political elements of the story are alarming, she provides a wonderful counterpoint through a virtual world created by her characters.
Have you listened to any of Daniel Burns’s other performances? How does this one compare?
My first time listening to this peformer
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Curiosity killed the cat, but who can slay a dragon?

no ending and no vol 2
I did not enjoy the narrator but to not even end? where is the next book? There's no wrap up of anything, not even a bad ending, more like the author just stopped writing.

Intriguing YA science fiction
Owen's vision of the future in The Boy Who Fell From the Sky is dominated by global warming, cool tech, and all the fascist fun that cool tech can yield (the government is tracking your bio-ID now, y'all). Some sections are not too subtle with the exposition, but the world is still remarkably detailed and complex.
Matthew Erlang takes us through this new world with a flair for engineering, a dash of social awkwardness, and a growing crush on a classical pianist. Every so often I feel the urge to yell at him like I would at an actor in a horror movie, but I can't help but enjoy Owen's characterization.
The audiobook transported me into this strange new world as completely as any good holo-film. I have a special soft spot for the glorious voices of the Russian characters and of course for O'Malley the cat.
I'm highly anticipating diving in to the sequels next!
