Fifty-One, from south London writer Chris Barnham, is a mind-bending, time travel love triangle, set in past and future London, which has been compared with the classic 'The Time Traveler's Wife.'.
Jake Wesson is sent back from 2040 to Blitz-era London, to stop the assassination of Britain's war leader, Winston Churchill. The assignment complete, the jump home goes wrong, stranding Jake in war-ravaged 1944. Stuck in the past, Jake tries to blend in. He clings to the one familiar face he can find, Amy Jenkins, a war widow whose life he saved. Drawn to each other by loneliness, thrown together amid the terror of war, Jake and Amy look to a future together.
But Jake's future cannot let him go. When his bosses finally find him in 1944, he faces a terrible choice: risk unravelling the modern world...or let Amy die.
Fifty-One is a page-turning blend of science fiction thriller and grittily realistic historical romance.

He now combines writing with running a small business, and active involvement in community politics in south London, where he has lived since the 1980s. His short fiction has appeared in a range of magazines, including Galaxy's Edge, Podcastle, and Interzone, the UK's premier SF magazine, and the annual Best of British SF collections. His first novel, Among the Living, was published in 2012 (revised 2nd edition, 2017).
Chris lives in London, England, with three tall children and a scary wife. Whenever work allows, he spends as much time as possible out of town with mud on his boots. He is online at chrisbarnhambooks.com
