READER’S GUIDE
Stealing from the past to save the future: Flight 19 and the hurricanes
Beyond Yesterday by Stephen Francis Montagna is a post-apocalyptic time travel novel. To save the future, they must steal lives from the past.
Beyond Yesterday is post-apocalyptic, time-travel speculative fiction. A nuclear exchange destroys more than 85 percent of the world’s population. The survivors, waiting underground for the planet to cool, develop the means to go back in time. They first bring back eggs and sperm from the past; when those do not survive, they start taking people.
Among those taken are the pilots of the five aircraft that vanished in the Bermuda Triangle—Flight 19, as the book portfolio names it. Every crossing has a price: each time the survivors arrive in the past, their entry raises a hurricane in the Atlantic. The portfolio names Commander Andy Graff, Dr. Richard Dewitt, General Archie Pairadee and Colonel Jaggers among the survivors, and puts the book’s question plainly: can saving humanity justify taking humanity from someone else?
