Twenty Years Ago Today (Part One)

Jim Fell's dying wish was to go back in time by twenty years so he could live his life again. He didn't expect his wish to come true. Or that the rest of humanity would come back with him...



It's a disaster. Billions wake up in their old bodies, desperate to find loved ones they aren't supposed to meet for years. Some are children again. Some are back from the dead. Anyone under the age of twenty has vanished â€" and that includes Jim's own children.



Jim sets out for London in the company of friends from twenty years ago, so he can locate his estranged wife and make sure their kids will be born one day. Then he’ll have to find a way to reverse the timeslip, if that’s even possible â€" and if it can be done before the growing crisis threatens the survival of humanity itself…





In Part One, Jim flees south along with Ciaran McCreary, a policeman who died in an off-duty stabbing, and Megan Tulliver, a civil servant who left the Cabinet Office under a cloud. But there are surprises in store once Jim locates his wife, emergency doctor Annabel Pearce...
