Summary
February 28, 1986. A confused old man is found wearing a dressing gown and slippers in the snow on Östermalmstorg in Stockholm. He talks incoherently about being in the wrong body at the wrong time and then warns that Olof Palme will be murdered. A few hours later, Sweden's Prime Minister was shot dead on Sveavägen in Stockholm.

The police go up in full alert and the old man is interrogated. How could he know about the assassination plans? The man refuses to say anything until he has spoken to a certain Elias Werner.

In their desperate search for clues, the police contact Elias Werner. He has no idea who the old man is or why he wants to talk to him in particular. Stunned and amazed, Elias accompanies him to the police station. What he doesn't know is that this is the beginning of an incredible adventure. Against his will, he will be transported forward in time to the year 2017.

Elias from 1986 must do everything to get back to his own time. It becomes a brutal hunt for the past in an alien future. Elias realizes that nothing in his life is what it seems. Old secrets are drawn to the surface. Bit by bit, the shocking truth about himself is revealed.

1986 is a breathtakingly exciting thriller by Jesper Ersgård. Hunted in time is the first book in the 1986 trilogy.

Good story / good twists and turns / sometimes repetitive but no too bad. I think it would make a great movie.

It started out great but by the end there was so much repetition of “confusion” and these “im confused!! Who are you!??” Conversations were pedantic and pointless that at the end of the book I did not bother to get book 2. Im disappointed. I like long books but there was 2 hours worth of filler that was irritating by hour ten.

YES! Such a great read! What an interesting premise! I chose this book from a handful of free VIP books! I am so happy I picked this book! From the beginning to the end I was engaged! I finished book 1 and paid the credit for book 2! What a cool storyline!

I absolutely loved this trilogy that kept me gripped throughout. In fact, I base my knowledge of Swedish history off of this series.

The 1st & 2nd Book were amazing! I was hooked. I couldn't put the books down. One hour and fourteen minutes into the third book President Donald Trump was compared to Hitler & Stalin. I couldn't believe it. An American President being compared to Hitler & Stalin! And I was already hooked on the books. I was so mad. I am pondering on whether I should finish listening. I am writing this before I make my decision. I wish I never started listening to these books. So, if you are an American, whether you are Republican or Democrat, if you are a true American and love your country as I do, don't start listening to these books unless you want to get pissed off! Yes, it is a good story, but a slap in the face to even think America would have a President that is comparable to two demons that killed millions of people. Shameless writer!!!

Most titles have not held my interest like this storyline did. But I am partial to science fiction so this was understandable. A fun ride through various time periods but all within a thirty year span. Wanted to continue with book two right away p so must have caught my curiosity. Based in Stockholm Sweden and I could not help thinking if I had lived there and knew the city I would have appreciated the story all the more.. I even found myself using google maps to look up some locations mentioned in the book!

The story premise is interesting but the lead character is very annoying - so much confusion and repetition - the reveals move at snails pace

The basis of the story is quite interesting, but to my mind the development of the plot could have been somewhat better. Nevertheless I am somewhat inclined to also read/listen to the remaining two books in this series.
