About the author

Tom Johnson was a voracious reader from childhood beginning with the Golden Age comic books to classic literature. Exciting adventure stories entertained him until he discovered science fiction and hardboiled detective mysteries. By his early twenties, he discovered The Shadow and Doc Savage pulp reprints in paperbacks, and was hooked on the fast-paced action novel. This led to collecting and research, which eventually interested him in writing. Today, he still loves an exciting action novel over movies and television. Tom and his wife, Ginger Johnson have received numerous awards in the field for their work in keeping the old stories in the spotlight for new readers seeking escape in a thrilling adventure novel.

A Great Way of Learning Whilst Being Entertained

I have no doubt, readers seeking a delightful, fun read about time travelling will be entertained by Tom Johnson's story, 'Three Go Back'. I also believe Johnson's story will appeal to older children & adults who are young at heart.

However, please do not be mistaken that Johnson's story is just a fluffy story told from his imagination or wild dreams. Instead, Johnson wisely had the foresight to realise that children & adults absorb more facts from fictional stories than wading through volumes of text books and as a result, 'Three Go Back' is a well researched book into the study of Paleontology. Therefore, I am also of the opinion this book deserves a place on the shelves of our school & public libraries & furthermore, should be included in the national curriculum.
