The Time Traveller’s User Guide is not a neat tale of paradoxes and polished heroes. It’s a fractured survival manual masquerading as a novel, where Charlie Blackbird and his alternate selves stumble through wars that never officially happened, friendships that warp across centuries, and mistakes that echo in directions no one can predict. Blending dark humour with high-concept science fiction, the story throws readers into a world where causality is a cruel joke, history won’t stay still, and even your own reflection might not be on your side. This is the first volume in a series that refuses to treat time travel as elegant clockwork—instead it’s messy, absurd, terrifying, and occasionally very funny. For fans of Douglas Adams, Philip K. Dick, or anyone who likes their sci-fi sharp-edged and unpredictable, The Time Traveller’s User Guide isn’t just a book. It’s a warning label.

About the author

Andrew G. Gibson is a British science fiction author whose work mixes sharp humour, paradox, and raw emotion. His latest novel, The Time Traveller’s User Guide, is a fractured odyssey through parallel histories, alien technologies, and the strange bureaucracy of time itself.
