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.

  • 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
