Time Rep introduces us to Geoffrey Stamp —a slacker who lounges on his roommate Tim’s couch all day playing video games. He should be ecstatic and grateful when he receives an exciting job offer as a holiday rep for a tour company, arranging holidays for tourists from the future into the 21st century, but that is not the case for Geoffrey, who is irked. The thing is that only the most insignificant people are asked to become Time Reps since they are the only ones unimportant enough to not interfere with the continuum of time and space. When Geoffrey discovers a conspiracy that might alter destiny and disrupt the events of the future, he goes on an incredible adventure through time to make some disturbing and even important discoveries.

Time Rep by Peter Ward is a fantastic sci-fi read that is different from the typical time travel books available. The originality in concept and plot points sets this novel apart for fans of time travel; it is set to be the next blockbuster, with quirky and fascinating characters and impeccable world-building, transporting readers through different timelines. With humor that will make you chuckle as you read, Time Rep’s main protagonist Geoffrey will take you on an unforgettable adventure from meeting dinosaurs, aliens, talking seagulls, to even visiting the time of the Great Fire of London. At first, Geoffrey Stamp may seem like a no-good, lazy slacker, but as you read on, you will discover that he possesses a hidden charm and depth. Peter Ward unfolds the plot brilliantly; strewn with original dialogue and mysteries, it makes for a great read.

Perfect for time-travel fiction enthusiasts of all ages, Time Rep is an adventurous tale that takes readers on Geoffrey’s journey to self-discovery, one through which he regains his lost confidence.
