Towards Yesterday by Paul Antony Jones
5.0
Imagine if everyone on earth time traveled without warning 25 years into their own past. Where would you find yourself? In a classroom or job long-forgotten? In a body more agile? Who in your life would not yet exist and who long-dead would suddenly be alive again? Would it be a blessing or a curse? This is the premise that Jones explores in Towards Yesterday.
I found this book to be extremely intriguing and found it to fill the niche left behind by the cancellation of the Flashforward television series (based on the book [b:Flashforward|337132|Flashforward|Robert J. Sawyer|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1316727290s/337132.jpg|327550] by [a:Robert J. Sawyer|25883|Robert J. Sawyer|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1224975910p2/25883.jpg]). Only, rather than everyone on earth experiencing their future, everyone on earth is catapulted and seemingly left stranded in the past. The well-crafted plot and 3-dimensional characters of Towards Yesterday make for a compelling read.
This author is growing on me such that I'd instantly snatch up any book he puts out there. If you're a fan of time travel or post-apocalyptic novels at all, do yourself a favor and download this book to your Kindle for $2.99. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
