This is “World Gov,” the omnipresent and seemingly omnipotent ruler which is so reminiscent of “Oceana” and “Big Brother” in George Orwell’s 1984.Īt this time, the Whites of Earth have been all but obliterated-primarily through government-mandated miscegenation but also as a result of mass executions following the Unification, a cataclysmic moment when the non-whites of the world were let loose to ravage and annihilate their technologically and intellectually superior brethren of European descent. The planet itself is ruled from Beijing by one hedonistic, cosmopolitan bureaucracy. In a global society of multi-hued brown, Huxton is an anomaly, a man of “sandy-gray hair,” “blue eyes and pale complexion.” Race or lack thereof, is not the only uniformity on this Earth of 19 billion humans. I say “formerly” because the sovereign nations of the planet have ceased to exist as such in Kendall’s 22nd century. Hold Back This Day examines the life of the protagonist, Jeff Huxton, a civil servant who functions as principal of a government school in what was formerly South Africa.

Ward Kendall’s Hold Back This Day (Writers Club Press, an imprint of iUniverse, Inc.) is a work of sci-fi that spins eternal truth in a mesmerizing web of technology, politics, and sociology. I have always been a huge Science Fiction fan, and I love any good story. Links to online sources are at the end of the review. I didn't 'give away' everything, but there's enough that probably would have spoiled it for me.

If you have not read this book, go read it before you read what I've written.
