1984: A Year in the Life of Nobby Clarke: A 1980s Time Travel Adventure

London, 1984: For a gambler, it’s a dream come true, a bracelet that enables travel back in time, but it comes with a catch.

Robin “Nobby” Clarke is a lifelong punter who has frittered away his life gambling on cards and horses. With the next race or turn of the card taking priority over all else, he never found time for a career or family. Now, it seems too late, until the chance comes to rewind the clock.

But there’s one key rule; he can’t use his knowledge of the future to make himself rich. And back in 1984, he has bigger problems anyway. His family business is struggling, his father is in prison for a crime he didn’t commit, and his girlfriend has just dumped him.

Vowing to put things right, he throws himself back into 1980s London life, but what will he do when he comes up against local villain Frankie “The Fillet” Fowler?

Join Nobby on his action-packed adventure in the year that Band Aid came together to feed the world.

1984 is part of the anthology series, A Year in the Life. Each book revisits a different aspect of life in the 1980s, and each story can be enjoyed standalone.
