In 1996 Tony Harrison is an Observer in the Fleet Air Arm and is flying Sea King helicopters on exercise in the Northern Atlantic. Lieutenant Charles Bradshaw is flying combat missions against the Japanese Navy in his F4F-4 Wildcat over the Pacific Ocean in 1942. One day their worlds collide and the adventure begins.
The war against the Japanese is raging across the Pacific, but on a small Island, inhabited by simple Polynesian natives, something far more sinister is afoot. A US plane spotter mysteriously disappears. Father Matthew, an Irish missionary, is cast out from the only village to fight for survival alone in the jungle, but quickly meets an ally in the form of Frank, an American enigma who takes the Holy Father under his wing. A young girl is left stranded on a deserted beach after the Australian sailors that rescued her from Java are all killed in a Japanese bombing raid and finally, the local fishermen are starting to disappear as the Japanese Army moves across the island.
The scene is set for an explosive sequence of events that will have far reaching consequences across time itself. Amidst the despair and treachery, this unlikely team must fight together to stop history being re-written and to guarantee their own safety, but time and again they will be thwarted. Will they get a second chance?
Back in 1996, at home in Cornwall Laura is unsure of her feelings for the man she has been dating for three months. Her quiet life as a Teaching Assistant is turned upside-down as she learns of Tony’s accident and she starts to discover her true feelings as she co-exists between her work and his bed-side. Together with his doctor, Mike Phillips, she must unravel the mystery to discover a strategy that will bring him home.
‘Time and Again’ is the first novel by Ian Weaver in the ‘Harry’ Harrison trilogy and will take you on a journey of war, love, happiness and despair. Time itself will become the enemy until they realise that ‘Sometimes you have to go back in order to move forward.’

5.0 out of 5 stars Plenty of twists and turns, November 7, 2011 By: Thomas D. Spears “Sprinklerboss” (Omaha, NE USA) – See all my reviewsI enjoy a story that is unpredictable, one that doesn’t telegraph every turn of the plot so thoroughly in advance that the story is obvious before it unfolds.
Time and Again certainly provided many surprises. From the moment the main character floats back in time to 1942, you think you know where this story is headed, but you don’t.
Time and Again is a well written exploration of modern and WWII military operations. The author, with many years in the RAF, certainly demonstrates his knowledge down to the details. I enjoyed the gritty realism of the opening helicopter crash, as well as other action sequences in the book. The heros and heroines are likable, the villains are generally despicable– all in keeping with the genre.
This book is a great read if you enjoy military action, thrillers, mysteries or time travel novels.

Not a review, although buy this book, its great, I loved it, full of action, suspense, anyone military will love it, non military will love it for the story, this is one great book! it is original in the story it tells, these days we should value are armed forces, there are no politics involved in this story, but, it does give an insight as to how are current forces, care! Read the back history to the Author, this is written by a real pilot, who crashed and lived! he has an awesome family, his wife, I suspect, is his inspiration. I dont write this because he is my best mate, I state what I have said as he takes time to reply to emails, and he does not know me! Read the book! and I guarantee, you will love it!

I couldn’t put it down…., October 18, 2010 Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)
This review is from: Time and Again (Kindle Edition)
I usually enjoy time travel books – and this one is excellent! The time periods – now and 1942 – are seamlessly interwoven and there are plenty of surprises along the way. I won’t talk about the story as I don’t want to spoil any intending readers’ enjoyment, I’ll just say that I spent way too much time reading this book when I should have been doing other things, like sleeping! The book is very well written and it’s hard to believe this is the author’s first novel. Now I’m just going to have to try and wait patiently for the next book in the series – according to the author’s website the book is with the publisher so I hope it is published very soon – and in a Kindle edition of course:) |

First Class Read, 30 Oct 2010I found this a really excellent read and would like to congratulate the author.
I also found it thought provoking, and it did make me wonder if time travel is possible.
As with another reviewer I won’t discuss the story as it would give the story-line away. You will have to read it. I assure you that you will not be disappointed.

Well done!, December 15, 2010It’s the great story of a World War II American fighter pilot and a modern day Royal Navy helicopter pilot — and the bond they share despite the decades that separate them.
I won’t try to recap everything here, but I can say, without a doubt, that this story is full of twists and turns that will keep you reading until the very end. Then you’ll be looking forward to the sequel.
