Sci-Fi Month 2025 - The Friday 56 (With Book Beginnings): Behind Yesterday (Thomas Watson Mystery #1) by Richard D. Taylor

 

  

On Friday's I take part in two weekly link ups - The Friday 56, currently hosted by Anne @ My Head Is Full of Books, and Book Beginnings, hosted by Rose City Reader.  For The Friday 56, you choose a book, a book you have just finished, a book you are about to start, your current read, and share a line or a few lines that grab you (but don't spoil anything) from page 56 or 56% of the way through the ebook. Post it and share your post's url on Anne's most recent Friday 56 post. As for Book Beginnings, you share the first sentence or so and your initial thoughts, impressions, or whatever else it inspires, and then link up your post's url with Rose City Reader.

Happy Friday everyone!  This week I'm spotlighting one of my SciFi Month 2025 books, Behind Yesterday (Thomas Watson Mystery #1) by Richard D. Taylor.  By the way, SciFi Month is a month long celebration of all things sci-fi and it's hosted by Lisa @ Dear Geek Place, Imyril @ There's Always Room For One More, Annemieke @ A Dance With Books, and Mayri @ Book Forager (Image credit: Artwork by Yuriy Nedopekin).  I just recently picked up this WWII time travel mystery at a thrift store and it sounds like it has a lot of potential.  By the way, I have this in paperback and it has a different cover than this Kindle edition.

Beginning:

Caribbean Sae

Cruise Liner: Voyager of the Sea

11:15 pm New Year's Eve, 1989

Thomas Watson stopped at the mirror and caught the reflection of his reddened eyes.

56:

London

Whitehall 

Air Ministry 

Upon arriving at his office in the morning, Air Marshall Harris settled into the average day, filled with intelligence briefings, damage assessments, and combat readiness reports.
