Review

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Future’s Dark Past by J L Yarrow is the first instalment of the Time Forward Trilogy and is a masterful blend of dystopian urgency and time-travelling escapades. This book captivated me from the very first page, presenting a haunting vision of a post-apocalyptic Earth and the extraordinary efforts of humanity to salvage its future.

Int his book, author Yarrow’s writing is both thrilling and thought-provoking, and the execution of the book’s premise is nothing short of exhilarating. The world-building is impeccable, and the scientific complexities of time travel are explained with clarity, making the complex concept accessible without diluting its intellectual depth.

Future’s Dark Past is a gripping, intelligent, and emotionally charged story that is a must-read for fans of dystopian fiction and anyone intrigued by the possibilities and perils of altering the past to secure the future.
