Just read Time And Time Again, Ben Elton. Good time travel story which I quite enjoyed. Based on the idea 'if you could change one thing in history'. Well written and a few good twists.

If you like time travel, you might want to take a look at the Roads to Moscow trilogy (two published so far) by David Wingrove. The idea is a war throughout time between Germany and Russia with all of the paradoxes that changes might bring.
He also wrote the Chung Kuo series (eight books in a future setting where China controls the globe and most people live in city blocks where the ambition is to rise up the levels of those blocks) which was excellent until the truly appalling last book (which he had been forced to rush under pressure from his publisher).
Would you recommend it mate..Colin was one of my all time favourite players...
I got his autograph outside Goodison when I was about 17
I am reading it for much the same reason, those were the days. I thought there would be more stories about the players of that time and about events but it is more like a time line of games and transfers.
I'm about 40% of the way through it and he has just taken over as manager. I would be reluctant to recommend it on the bit I have read so far and I feel bad for saying that given that it is Colin Harvey. I'll read the rest of it and then let you know.

A good time travel book, from one my favourite authors, Richard Matheson, Bid Time Return.

Also an honourable mention to Hawksbill Station by Robert Silverberg : political dissidents are forced to travel back into the pre-human past as a 'humane' punishment.
Pretty much anything by Stephen King.
And, of course, the recent Stephen King time travel book 11/22/63...

Superb mate. The emperor series is cracking too. This war of the roses series is pretty interesting too, not quite as good as those mind..
Just finished this, superb read if you're into books about Italian organised crime.
In depth look at the Camorra in Naples.

I often find his work a bit bloated and a little self-indulgent, but I don't care for Jimi's solos either!

Fantastic book.
Fantastic book.
If you're looking for a holiday read, this is excellent .
It's one of his non Rebus books. Major art heist in Edinburgh which all unravels afterwards.
So, a bit contrary to Clark's opinion? From my understanding he's describing him more as foolish than evil? Haven't finished the book though.
