1984: A Year in the Life of Nobby Clarke: A 1980s Time Travel Adventure

By Jason Ayres

London, 1984: For a gambler, it's a dream come true - a bracelet that enables travel back in time, but one that comes with a catch.
Robin "Nobby" Clarke is a lifelong gambler who has frittered away his life on cards and horses. With the next race or turn of the card taking priority over all else, he never found time for a career, a wife, or children. Now, it seems too late, until the chance comes to rewind the clock to when he was just twenty years old.

Excited at the thought of making millions, Nobby is disappointed when he learns the rules: no using the bracelet for personal financial gain. But back in 1984, there are plenty of other things to worry about. His family business is struggling, his father is in prison for a crime he didn't commit, and his girlfriend has just dumped him.

Vowing to put things right, he throws himself back into 1980s London life, but what will he do when he comes up against local villain Frankie "The Fillet" Fowler?

Join Nobby on his action-packed adventure in the year when Frankie Goes to Hollywood and Wham ruled the charts, and the movement that was Band Aid came together to feed the world.

Relive the 1980s through this captivating series of British time travel novels filled with humour, romance, and nostalgia. Blending comedy, drama, and mystery, each standalone story brings fresh characters and moments to life from this remarkable decade.
