Class of '92 — Jason Ayres

Relive the 1990s in this thrilling time travel extravaganza! If you were flung back to 1992, what would you make of the pre-internet era?When Josh Gardner, a man from the twenty-first century, finds himself stranded in the early 1990s following a time travel experiment gone wrong, he's faced with a world very different from any he has ever known. Can he successfully navigate a realm of phone boxes and VHS tapes to find his way back to the present?Cut off from the technology he took for granted in the future, Josh must adapt to life in 1992 Oxford, where every encounter is a living history lesson. Just as he is beginning to enjoy life before the digital revolution, a new time travel mystery unfolds. Missing people from the past are beginning to turn up, from a young mother who disappeared for two weeks after going out to do her Christmas shopping, to a teenager missing for twenty years who reappears not having aged a day.If you crave a fast-paced adventure and a taste of pre-internet nostalgia, then 'Class of '92' is your ticket to the time-travelling adventure of a lifetime, where past, present, and future collide.I enjoy all of Jason Ayres' time travel books, but this is the best so far. The comparisons between a world before mobile phones and today are well sketched, and the narrator's dilemma over which world would be better to live in was very thought-provoking. Very skilled and entertaining writing as ever.
