Back Dated
"Back Dated has an original and interesting plot that engages the reader very quickly and holds them right up to the end. Niblock maintains tension and interest throughout and Ray Flaxman is a flawed but interesting character. This is a book from an author with great potential."
Jill Murphy - The Bookbag
Sci-Fi author Ray Flaxman has writer’s block and a date with the future. The one could end his career, the other his life.
Back Dated is a story about a man and a woman, and a whole lot can happen when a man and a woman get together. We’re not just talking about the birds and the bees here, though Back Dated is about reproduction “but not as we know it, Jim”.
It isn’t Star Trek either, though it does involve travel and it is science fiction but, not as we . . .
You see it’s gender not genre, that’s important in Back Dated, as the reluctant hero Ray Flaxman discovers, when a strange young woman comes looking for a mate. It’s the big Bang all over again, as present and future collide, and the continued existence of the male half of the species depends on just one man and one woman.
Is Ray up to such a Herculean task? He has a full set of male chromosomes certainly, but there’s a lot more to being a man than that . . .

I loved this book from the word go. It flowed easily, no awkward moments that sometimes appear in books by indy authors. Having just finished a book by a famous author I can honestly say I could not tell the difference in quality. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a bit of fantasy with realism.
