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.

Industry Reviews

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! - Gareth Brown, international bestselling author of The Book of Doors

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. - Jen Sugden, Sunday Times bestselling co-author of Victoriocity

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. - Nadine Matheson, author of the Anjelica Henley series
