About this listen

On the way home from school in 1986, Craig Pelling decided to buy a can of Coke. He wasn’t to know a seemingly innocuous visit to the local newsagent would dramatically change the course of his life.

Fast forward to his 40s, Craig finds himself trapped in a loveless marriage, earning a living in a dead-end job as the manager of an electrical store. He could have been so much more, achieved so much more.

However, fate hasn’t finished with Craig Pelling yet.

A school reunion proves to be the catalyst for chaos and decades on from his visit to that newsagent, Craig’s mundane life is turned upside down as his past comes back to haunt him.

As he plummets towards rock-bottom, all seems lost for Craig until he’s thrown a lifeline — the miraculous lifeline of a brief trip back in time to 1986. Will he be able to fix his life? Is it as simple as just reverting one decision he made over 30 years ago?

Craig is about to find out.

Everything! As with the Clement collection, this kept me hooked. One of the best things I’ve done was tuning into Ken Bruce’s ‘Popmaster’ quiz when Keith Pearson was a contestant. This guy CAN tell a story! Keep ‘em comin mate! 👍👍

Brilliant as ever!

Was totally geared up for the part when he returned home but the ending was a total anti climax. Apart from that, really enjoyed it. Shame.

Awful ending

Being an overweight middle age man, who spent over 20 odd years in electrical retail management, this book unnervously summed up bits of my life, even down to the Ferguson portable TV and the black ash desk.

Enjoyable, but uncomfortable listening

Very interesting story with great nostalgia moments, felt like I’d lived the same life as the protagonist. Literally hit all the main beats of my life. Made me very nostalgic, and wishing the multiverse was real and travel between was possible

Thought provoking if your gen X

Wow l. this hit a bit too close to home!
If only I could go back in time, when my mum was still alive!
The only thing that annoyed me is the constant preaching about smoking! Don't anti smokers know that they are not going to live forever?! Get off your high horse and smell the coffee, people!
if it wasn't for that it would have been 5 stars all around!

good book

In my opinion this should have been edited down significantly - and although the premise is really interesting I didn't feel the story hung together.

Disappointing

If you enjoy your time travel stories, then I think this will become one of your favourites. It reminds me a little of Back to the Future. A person manages to go back in time and adjust the past and future for himself and family. Its not at all goofy, or silly, its a really captivating read that deserves to do well on Audible. The characters are all richly realised and their is real weight to the characters problems, and his efforts to correct what once went wrong. The 86 fix is a two partner, so I'm looking forward to reading the concluding book as soon as it is released, which I believe is within the next week or two.

I definitely recommend this book to both sci fi and fiction fans alike

Superb time travel story

What a great book! It reminded me a little bit of Adrian Mole and a bit of High Fidelity. Definitely worth a credit!

Oh Craig, what have you done?!
