What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
Michael Young is a brilliant young history student whose life is changed when he meets Leo Zuckerman, an ageing physicist with a theory that can change worlds.
Together they realise that they have the power to alter history and eradicate a great evil. But tinkering with timelines is more dangerous than they can imagine and nothing - past, present or future - will ever be the same again.
Making History is funny, moving, romantic and told with Stephen Fry's characteristic skill and brilliance.

Critics Review
-
Stephen Fry at his twinkling best
Sunday Times
-
His best novel yet ... an extravagant, deeply questioning work of science fiction
GQ
-
A sci-fi comedy that is also a time-travel thriller, constantly topical and always surprising... packed with the author's personal enthusiasm and hatreds, the former red-hot and the latter icy-black
