The Time Traveller’s User Guide

Time travel is addictive. Side effects include memory loss, missing records and the creeping suspicion that the User Guide is rewriting you.

Paradoxes are not covered under warranty

Charlie Blackbird has no past on paper and far too many futures. He thought the watch on his wrist would give him answers. Instead, it leads him through fractured histories, vanishing lives and choices that echo across centuries.

Part science fiction, part dark comedy and part survival manual for anyone foolish enough to tamper with causality, The Time Traveller’s User Guide embraces the messy side of time travel: alternate selves, wars that never officially happened, ghosts who refuse to stay in their own timeline and technology that outruns the people using it.

“It wouldn’t be neat or elegant. It would be messy, absurd, terrifying—and sometimes very funny.” — Andrew G. Gibson

For readers who enjoy fractured realities

A deliberately non-linear journey for fans of dark humour, unreliable histories, identity in flux and time-travel stories that refuse to tidy themselves up.

Meet Charlie Blackbird

A man already in trouble, carrying a device that is both lifeline and curse—and discovering that every answer creates several more dangerous questions.

Inside the broken timeline

The novel explores identity when every choice can produce another self, technology as both rescue and trap, and humour as a way of surviving the impossible. Read a detailed review or explore Chapter Two and its world.

Both. It combines time wars, identity and technological consequences with dark, irreverent humour.
