Echoes of The Past 1970

A Time Travel Sci-Fi Novel

By: V.P. Blackwood

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Stranded in 1970. Trapped in the bodies of children. Holding the key to humanity’s survival.

In the year 2370, scientists Ethan, Oliver, and Benjamin test a groundbreaking time machine—only to crash into small-town Maine, 1970. The machine is broken. Their future is gone. And worse: Ethan and Oliver are now ten-year-old boys with adult minds, forced to relive childhood in a world of chalkboards, bullies, and suspicion.

Benjamin must pose as their father and keep them hidden—but local eyes are watching. A curious cop, a compassionate doctor, and strange visions all hint that their journey wasn’t just an accident. Something—or someone—wanted them in this timeline.

As reality cracks and secrets unfold, the trio realizes the truth: Earth’s future has already been destroyed. And they might be the only ones who can stop it from happening.

Echoes of The Past is a nostalgic, thrilling sci-fi mystery about second chances, fractured timelines, and found family. Perfect for fans of Dark, Stranger Things, and The Adam Project.

This story is set in the 1970s and reflects parenting norms of the era—including corporal punishment. It's a different era. And some echoes hit harder than others.

meh

The premise of the story is good. The character development and interactions are ridiculous.They would work if it was a comedy but not as the serious story it's supposed to be. The Ai voice kills the bit it has good.

good premise but repetitive

good grief is it repetitive! Over and over your told of their situation and how they feel about it. Also, the actions of the main characters are completely illogical and unlikely. These are supposed to be brilliant scientists yet they resort to a casino in order to multiply their cash? Just so bad.

Virtual should attempt to adjust voice to characters.

Virtual should attempt to adjust voice to characters. It is such a great story! Deserves more of a full cast rendering.
