Okay, so some reviewers claimed they were lost from page one, others said they flat-out hated it, BUT I absolutely loved *Yesterday's Echo* by Paul Antony Jones. The characters were fantastic: Jim, Rebecca, Adrianna, Lorenz, Mabry, Mina, Simone, and Lark. Each one added something special. Byron Portia definitely spiced things up as a serial killer, and Father Edward Pike was just plain bonkers. So, yeah, there was a lot more happening than just figuring out how the "slip" occurred and how to fi...

The trial of an experimental military communications device causes a time slip with disastrous consequences for millions of humans who are taken back twenty-five years in time. I did not enjoy this book for three main reasons. Firstly, poor mechanics: The story was overwritten, especially during the action scenes where the pacing slows to a crawl because of the mass of details and adjectives. The point of view switched around anytime more than one character was present. Large chunks of back st...

Just when I thought every angle of time travel and apocalyptic fiction had been done to death, I stumbled upon Yesterday's Echo. Paul Antony Jones's original and captivating take on alternate history feels truly groundbreaking. It transports the minds of both characters and readers through a creative time warp, sidestepping the usual time travel paradoxes by tapping into the immense potential of newly proposed quantum physics realms. Jones clearly has a mind that's way ahead of the curve. A bril...

What if everyone on Earth suddenly time-traveled, without warning, 25 years into their own past? Where would you end up? Back in a classroom or a job you'd long forgotten? In a younger, more agile body? Who in your life wouldn't exist yet, and who, long dead, would suddenly be alive again? Would it be a blessing or a curse? This is the premise that Paul Antony Jones explores in *Yesterday's Echo*. I found this book extremely intriguing, and it fills the void left by the cancellation of the *Fla...

"Yesterday's Echo" by Paul Antony Jones is a post-apocalyptic book with a fantastic twist – time travel.Imagine your life right now: your relationships, your job, everything. Now, imagine you're suddenly thrown back 25 years, keeping all your knowledge and memories, but you're 25 years younger. People who have died in the last 25 years are alive again, and people born in that time no longer exist.James Bastion is writing his memoirs on New Year's Eve when he's abruptly thrust 25 years into the p...

This is a solid read. The opening was excellent, and the characters immediately grabbed me. We start with James Baston, a bestselling author, reflecting on his life as he writes his autobiography. You just know there's more to him than meets the eye, and you quickly discover what it is. The supporting cast is equally compelling, including Father Jacob (or is it Joseph...hehe), and a totally unhinged serial killer. Then we have the scientists. Oh boy, scientists – they can sure cause problems (as...

I'd honestly give "Yesterday's Echo" by Paul Antony Jones a solid 4.5 stars. It's a brilliantly written and totally captivating novel that plays with time travel in a really unique way. Not your typical sci-fi time travel, but more like a scientific experiment gone spectacularly wrong. Think of it as a top-notch time travel book review bait!Can you even fathom being thrown back to an earlier stage of your life, but still holding onto every single experience and nugget of knowledge you've accumul...

This was an interesting book, and a lot of fun to read. The concept of everyone on the planet slipping back in time 25 years (even if they had died in the original timeline) is a fascinating idea, with the potential for many entertaining details and sub-plots. It's a great read for sci-fi fans looking for something different.I almost wish that Paul Antony Jones' *Yesterday's Echo* had been longer. There were various things I kept wondering about as I was reading, that fell outside of the scope o...

Paul Antony Jones' "Yesterday's Echo" is a fantastic throwback to—as another reviewer aptly put it—the era when science fiction actually grounded itself, at least partially, in science. It's the kind of sci-fi that makes you think, not just spectate. Jones' writing possesses a clean, clear, and thoroughly enjoyable style. His characters feel real and compelling. And the plot maintains a consistently forward momentum, never bogging down. This is one of the rare books I've encountered lately whe...

In a world drowning in mediocre fantasy, occasionally punctuated by a decent space opera, it's a massive breath of fresh air to find some proper science fiction. You know, fiction actually rooted in science.Paul Antony Jones's *Yesterday's Echo* is gloriously old school. The plot moves at a great pace, completely gripping you. The science feels real and believable, and the questions it raises—both about society and ourselves—give you plenty to think about long after you've finished reading. My o...
