When two scientists at a symposium on time travel are killed, followed immediately by the shocking detection of a time displacement wave, or TDW, the scientific world is shaken by the signs of someone traveling back in time to change the past. While their identity and goals are unknown, it’s clear that they’ll have to be stopped before they change the pattern of history.
Special Agent Lou Hessman and his team are tasked with returning to 1919 New York City to find and stop this TDW. Not an easy task under any circumstance, but the question remains: Are these changes something they want to fix?

Just finished Gene Abel’s book Going Back. Great science fiction story about time travel back to 1919 New York City, which makes you wonder if you could change the past, would you? In addition, what would be the implications? Brought back memories of the old “Time Tunnel” TV series, which I loved.

Going Back had a very interesting plot and some very well thought-out ethical dilemmas. An understated romantic angle until the end. It was a very fast and satisfying read.
