Authors Martin Smith and Will Adams are thrilled to present their debut novel, Consequences, a time-travel comedy about the quirky, unintended ripple effects of everyday actions.
With wit and an inventive twist on time loops, the book is drawing in fans of speculative fiction and lighthearted satire, making it one of the year's standout comedic novels.
At the heart of Consequences is Edward Prescot, a mid-forties, ordinary guy working a routine job at the UK Passport Office. Edward’s life is bland, filled with the kind of monotony many can relate to—until, out of nowhere, his Thursdays take an unusual turn. What starts with a hint of déjà vu becomes a strange series of time loops, where the smallest actions Edward takes start replaying, revealing unexpected, often hilarious consequences. Suddenly, Thursdays become a chaotic minefield where any choice could lead to absurd results.
Consequences cleverly twist the “butterfly effect,” where tiny choices cause big and unexpected reactions. Smith and Adams write each chapter as a game of surprises, with one author’s chapter playfully challenging the next, resulting in a story filled with energy, humor, and unexpected turns. Plus, the book’s lighthearted take on time travel and ripple effects keeps readers hooked, laughing, and guessing all the way to the last page.
The novel also serves up a touch of social and political satire against the backdrop of a post-Brexit UK. Through Edward’s misadventures, Consequences reflects on modern-day bureaucracy and the quirks of workplace culture, subtly poking fun at the confusion and chaos that surround us every day.
As a refreshing blend of humor, relatable characters, and inventive time loops, Consequences offers laughs and entertaining twists for readers who enjoy comedy with a hint of speculative fiction. In short, it is a witty, cleverly constructed story that will change our perspective on life and on the ordinary—a book that will probably help us to reflect on our actions and choices.
Consequences is now available on Amazon, https://www.amazon.com/dp/1917399359 and at leading bookstores and online retailers. Don’t miss out on this lighthearted, time-twisting adventure—that will leave you in splits—guarantee!
