What would you do if you suddenly found yourself twenty-five years in the past? For the nine billion people living in the year 2042 it’s no longer a question…it’s a reality.

When a seemingly simple experiment goes disastrously wrong, James Baston finds himself stranded in the past alongside the rest of mankind. Here the old are young once more, the dead live again, and civilization is in chaos.

With the fate of humanity on the line, James must join a hastily assembled group of scientists, a reincarnated murder victim, and a genius trapped in her six-year-old body to reconcile the earlier mistakes of their future counterparts. The team struggles to prevent global extinction, and along the way they come face-to-face with their past losses, new loves, and a cold-blooded killer. As the team plummets toward a final confrontation, will they be able to undo time’s unraveling in order to save the human race?

Revised edition: this edition of Toward Yesterday includes editorial revisions.

Paul Antony Jones is a native of Cardiff, Wales. He has worked as a newspaper reporter and commercial copywriter, but his passion is penning fiction. Jones is a self-described science geek and a voracious reader of scientific periodicals. He is a fan of all things mysterious, unknown, and on the fringe, which inspired his series Extinction Point as well as the book Toward Yesterday. Jones and his wife live near Las Vegas, Nevada.

Reviews

“I powered through this book in a day. It’s a writing tour de force. If anyone reading is a writer and wants to know how to write perfect prose, buy this book. If anyone has a story in their head and wants to find a model to help them tell it, buy this book. If anyone’s looking for a good Stephen King/Dean Koontz/Michael Crichton book and has read everything by these men, buy this book. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.” —KillerKindle.com

Toward Yesterday is the best time travel story that I can remember coming across in any medium—book, movie, TV show, or video game.” —Sift Book Reviews (5 stars)

“Good God, the artful penmanship this writer has! To make me, a non-fan of the genre, twist and turn and cheer (for the most odd of characters, no less).” —Butterfly-o-Meter Books (4 stars)

“This is a hidden gem that would be a pure shame to miss. Toward Yesterday is an apocalyptic, science fiction thriller, that kept me sneaking away to read my Kindle for the entire Memorial Day weekend. Engrossing, thought-provoking, filled with lasting, vivid imagery…the story gripped me early, and didn’t let go.” —Steven Konkoly, author of The Jakarta Pandemic

“In a world sinking into a morass of indifferent Fantasy, leavened only by the occasional Space Opera, it is a huge relief to read some ‘proper’ science fiction. You know, fiction based on science.” —Pat Whitaker, author of Bad Blood

Toward Yesterday is a wonderful throwback to the days when Science Fiction was actually based to some degree on Science.” —William Vitka, author of The Danger of Field Work
