The '86 Fix

By: Keith A. Pearson

Narrated by: Andy Cresswell

On the way home from school in 1986, Craig Pelling decided to buy a can of Coke. He wasn’t to know a seemingly innocuous visit to the local newsagent would dramatically change the course of his life.

Fast forward to his 40s, Craig finds himself trapped in a loveless marriage, earning a living in a dead-end job as the manager of an electrical store. He could have been so much more, achieved so much more.

However, fate hasn’t finished with Craig Pelling yet.

A school reunion proves to be the catalyst for chaos and decades on from his visit to that newsagent, Craig’s mundane life is turned upside down as his past comes back to haunt him.

As he plummets towards rock-bottom, all seems lost for Craig until he’s thrown a lifeline — the miraculous lifeline of a brief trip back in time to 1986. Will he be able to fix his life? Is it as simple as just reverting one decision he made over 30 years ago?

Craig is about to find out.

Good story.

Good narrator. Good story. Dragged out a bit. Interesting twist. Recommend for time travel enthusiasts. Yea :)

Interesting story but just missed

Interesting story with the expected events of “if I had to live my life again” scenarios but the ending was Very disappointing. I did enjoy the English perspective of the time period that I grew up in

Good story ruined by unimaginative ending

Time travel stories can be so imaginative yet still make logical sense. This one makes no sense at all.

Loved It!

Not only great narration, clever, humorous writing, but a great story that keeps you listening! I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Fun and engaging read!

I’m a time-travel buff and this is one of my favorites. How many times have you thought about going back into your past to change a decision or outcome? I’ve thought about it a lot and this was a fun way to explore what that might be like being being thrust back into your teenage body and into the past. This book delivered up a healthy dose of 80s nostalgia, humor, heartfelt emotions, and suspense. Well worth the credit! I can’t wait for the next installment!
