You can change the past. Can you cheat fate?
The day Princess Diana died, eighteen-year-old Rachel killed Oliver Jones in a car crash - and destroyed her own future in the process.
In 2026, time travel is a luxury commodity like any other. When a mysterious benefactor unexpectedly offers Rachel the opportunity to Time Jump, she doesn't think twice and goes back to 1997, making sure the fatal accident never takes place.
Oliver is now an alive and thriving politician, and the connection between him and Rachel blooms into a perfect fairy tale ending. But it comes at a terrible cost.
And as rumours begin to circulate about young women going missing from Oliver's rehab centres, Rachel faces an impossible question. Was the man she travelled back in time to save - and fell in love with in her present - a monster in the making?
Rachel thought killing Oliver was the worst thing she'd ever done. Now she's afraid saving him might be . . . Addictive and twisty time travel thriller, perfect for fans of Gillian McAllister, Blake Crouch and The Ministry of Time.

Critic reviews
Featured in the Irish Independent, Daily Express, Daily Mirror, SFX, Heat and New Scientist
A fresh and engaging fusion of sci-fi and rom-com
Melding sci-fi, '90s nostalgia and chilling thrills, this is one highly entertaining genre bender
A brilliant and unique mystery
A gripping page turner
Get ready for a new generation of time travel story, one that's gritty, thrilling and surprisingly plausible. Time Jump totally gripped me with its heartfelt journey, one that expertly weaves world events with personal stories and harnesses the power of science fiction to provoke thought and debate about our lives here and now. But that's by-the-by, this is purely and simply, a fantastic five star read.
A gripping and twisty psychological thriller by way of Back to the Future, Time Jump is one hell of a ride! I loved Rachel's journey of redemption and that the time travel elements never overtook the dark crime mystery at the heart of the novel. A true genre-bender. Bravo!
I loved Time Jump - it's popular speculative fiction at its best. A killer concept; interesting characters; punchy, sardonic prose; and a vivid sense of places and times. This is Back to the Future crossed with your favourite crime novel. Read it before the inevitable Netflix adaptation!
Simply brilliant! Packed full of compassion and 90s nostalgia, Time Jump has a killer premise that delivers on all fronts: chilling, clever, suspenseful, and full of twists that will keep you turning the pages until it's long past your bedtime! Adam Simcox once again proves himself to be one of our best writers of speculative thrillers. Perfect for fans of Black Mirror and Sarah Pinborough's Behind Her Eyes.
A super-smart, nostalgia-filled thriller that's as much a thought-provoking meditation on fate and consequence as it is a mind-bending treat of a time-travel caper. Will keep you hooked from beginning to end.
A gripping, nostalgic, time-travelling thriller that had me glued to my seat. A dark quantum leap with the Ready Player One throwback thrills. A true page-turner.
The Girl on theTrain, if that girl had got in a DeLorean instead . . . Time Jump lives up to the name, twisting and turning at a relentless pace. Simcox is fast becoming the go-to for speculative crime; if you thought going back in time to right past wrongs sounds wholesome, buckle up. Absolutely belting domestic noir, as seen through a Black Mirror.
If you could prevent the worst mistake of your life from happening, would you do it? Adam Simcox's Time Jump takes us on a rip-roaring ride through the past, present and future to a London that barely exists anymore. With Nineties nostalgia so thick you could cut with a knife, it's a story of love, fate and unforeseen consequences that reminds us the past really is a foreign country - and what we do there might just come back to haunt us.
