Hold Back This Day tells a chilling story about the last white people left on Earth. It is 85 years after the Unification, and mankind has been forcibly united under one government, one religion, and one race. Yet, a handful of whites still exist, among them skoolplex administrator Jeff Huxton. As he watches his son slowly destroyed by a racially homogenized world that will no longer accept his kind, Jeff comes to meet Karl Ramstrom. Ramstrom holds out one last hope for them--but only if they can escape the global-wide police state ruled by the iron-fisted leaders of World Gov. And the only place left to run is Mars...

"I'd love to do features, dramas, with actors, as opposed to documentaries. I've always been a fan of science fiction, I'd love to do a science fiction film with our message. As a matter of fact, I just finished reading Hold Back This Day, by Ward Kendall. You guys published that, and thank you, by the way, for doing that. It's a fabulous work and we don't have enough."
- Craig Bodeker - Documentary Film Producer, A Conversation About Race

"A powerful story of Earth's possible future."

"Ward Kendall has written a novel that should cause plenty of discussion."
- Barry Hunter - Baryon Book Reviews

"Hold Back This Day" is a must read!"
- Cindy Penn - Word Weaving Book Reviews

"White men may have been rendered completely powerless in this society, but as long as they can still write first-rate fiction they have a voice, and Kendall is such a voice."
- H.A. Covington - author of the Northwest Quartet

"This book is outstanding! Ward Kendall has given us a true masterpiece. This book shows the world's future when political correctness is taken to silly and deadly extremes."
- Amazon.com Reader -Baltimore, Maryland

"Hold Back This Day" is surprisingly well written science fiction -- the characters actually act how real people in such a situation would act. This is unlike the typical science fiction story where the characters are often flat and/or unbelievable. Ward Kendall has a good insight into human nature, and it is a welcome change."
- Amazon.com Reader - USA

"A devastating, wonderful book. YOU need to read this - now."
- Amazon.com Reader - UK

"I just read your book from cover to cover in only two sittings. It was absolutely excellent and incredibly profound; without a doubt, it is in the same league as The Camp of the Saints. As I read your book, I could not but help but think how the the nightmare of World Gov is coming to fruition in our time. You have scared the hell out of me."
- Kyle Bristow - author of "White Apocalypse"

"Beware! You'll be thinking about it after you read it!"
- Ernest Hoffman - Illinois, USA

"I don't want to give too much away but it's stirring stuff - I read the whole thing in two days and there were tears in my eyes by the climax."
- Amazon.com Reader - UK

"This is a truly brilliant, terrifying, yet ultimately uplifting tale which would make one hell of a movie."
- Amazon.com Reader - UK

"I finished "Hold Back This Day" yesterday. It is a splendid read. Riveting. Scary. And so close to "real"....very Orwellian...very "1984." The book moves right along and was one of those that is hard to put down from the beginning. I'm ready for the follow-up book!

I write to entertain, and always keep my readers in mind. That said, I strive to always add intellectual substance to everything I write. When readers pick up one of my novels, I don't just give them an unusual story; I also give them genuine food for thought. If I had to be defined, I'm a little bit of Robert Heinlein, a flash of Ian Fleming, a touch of Ayn Rand, a few whispers of Ray Bradbury, and an occasional dark shadow from George Orwell. My latest novel, "Eternity Beach", is my longest work yet.

I'm not the kind who likes to give reviews, but after reading this book I feel like I should. As a person who keeps up on current events, I have noticed many similarities between the book and life today, even though the story takes place a little over 100 years from now. Similarities such as: forced racial integration, political correctness, movies and news stories deliberately instilling a collective guilt on white people, undefended borders in the USA and Europe, TV and Hollywood making films to induce miscegenation between whites and non whites, magnifying hate crimes committed by whites and minimizing hate crimes committed against whites in an effort to instill even more guilt. Just as in the book, there seems to be a genocidal plan against people of European decent, and what I got out of this book most was the urgency of it and the finality of extinction. As with most books it starts off slow and wordy, but very soon you will be in the thick of it and by the end you wont be able to stop reading it. It becomes very exciting near the end and I'll stop here so not to ruin it for you. But I will say that I didn't expect to read what eventually happened, and for that I thank the author, and thanks for writing this very important and entertaining book! Buy this book you will not be disappointed!

Ward Kendall pulls no punches in this great Sci-Fi story. If you aren't emotionally moved after reading this you have no soul, if you're a White parent and you aren't the least bit concerned about the future of your White children after reading this then you need professional help. This book tells a tale of one possible future for the White race, one that if you have been keeping up with current events and the media demonization of White folk then you might sense that it's not only a possible future but also a plausible one unless we get our heads on straight. I went ahead and bought the other 3 books written by Ward due to my worries that with Amazon's new (((CEO)))will definitely want books like this gone. Read it and read it now. As grim and as dark this story can be, as much as your politically correct outlook will be called into question and inevitably shattered there is unquestionable truth within this book. And as much as (((they))) want to make sure that you aren't permitted to read books like these let one thing be known. The truth cannot be defeated.

A Book Proud White People will Love.
Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2014

I enjoyed reading the reviews of the Jews and White Race Traitors who gave this book a 1 star review. I especially enjoyed reading their comments after having bought the book and read it. I can see for myself what liars and nincompoops they all are. For instant one so-called review talked about a monotonous tone that persisted from cover to cover. Someone else spoke of the poor writing. These comments are pure garbage. I doubt that any of these reviewers actually read the book. The are probably just shills working for the Anti-Defamation League to put down a good man's work. I actually do not agree with Mr Kendall that these type should be hunted down and put in prison for the rest of their lives. I think it is better that they be forced to live out the rest of their lives confronting their own foolishness after being banished to the African country of there choice. I have an idea lets trade these idiots for the good White people who are now suffering in South Africa after having been convinced by the World Community to let the Muds take over. I guarantee you that the White South Africans that we save will be more than appreciative and will never fall for same trickery ever again.

I've already wasted too much time on the fools who dissed "Hold Back this Day". "Hold Back this Day" is not a masterpiece. There are very few books that are. It is, however, competently written. There is no monotone that I can detect. I think more thought could have gone into differentiating the characters and the dialogue of the characters. One thing holding back this book is that there is too much similarity in the dialogue of one character vs another. The book could have been more descriptive of the various characters, helping the reader better appreciate the characters for who they are. For instance I would have liked to know more about Jeff's first Wife and why she was the type of person who would protest on behalf of White rights. I also would have liked to know more about the reaction of Jeff's son Adam when Jeff first meets Karl Ramstrom face to face. Somehow it doesn't seem plausible the his son wouldn't be right next to his father after he recovers from being knocked out.

On the other hand, the great virtue of "Hold Back this Day" is how it projects what may happen in the future based on current trends. Due to the envy of other races for the accomplishments of the White race, it is not surprising that a future mongrelized Society would begin actively discriminating against Whites. Look and South Africa today and Zimbabwe. Ask the former Whiter Farmers in those countries about how they feel about being dispossessed of their lands. Ask the White urban dwellers in these countries how they feel about being constantly subject mugging and violence and rape due to their skin color. This future world that Wad Kendall imagines is already here for them. That is why I so want to exchange the Whites in Southern Africa for the race-traitors here. That would mean liberation for the good white people still in Africa and reality for the Race Traitors.

Ward Kendall's ideas about sex in the future is also troubling. After accepting sexual perversion and perversion right now there are only a few dominos left to fall. Soon we will be allowing Polyamorous marriages. That is the marriage of more than two people of differing sexes or of he same sex. Also, Poligamy will eventually be legalized. Our public officials will see to it that these things happen using high minded words and phrases concerning equality and fairness and the family unit will continue to be splintered and weakened, and the forthcoming offspring will menace this new world of equality and fairness because their will be much more strife than true love in the families of the future. Of course the ultimate domino to fall will be the prohibition against pedophilia which Ward Kendall graphically depicts in his book. This new world will be one in which sex and love are effectively divorced due to the many perversions we tolerate for the sake of equality and fairness.

It is not surprising that if we today are fooled into believing in the Jewish Holohoax that we can be fooled in the future into believing anything a world government wants us to believe so long as that belief is good for the stability and control of a world government. Ward Kendall's insight into how the accomplishments of the White Race might be banned from history is truly frightening. Of course this would be for the sake of other races feeling better about themselves and for the mongrels to feel better as well, but it would ultimately not be the truth and would lead to tremendous sociological damage and the almost certain destruction of the White Race.

Overall Mr. Kendall does a good job of redeeming the hero of the book, Jeff Huxton, and paving a path for the re-emergence of the White Race as the greatest of all of the Races of Mankind. Mr Kendall does so unapologetically and I appreciate that. I certainly understand why the Jews and White Race Traitors cannot appreciate it. After all to love one's race is to love oneself and love of oneself is an absolute prerequisite to accomplish anything in one's life. If too many whites begin to love their race and love themselves that is a very dangerous development for the Jews and White Race traitors to overcome. That is the only reason they so vehemently disapprove of Mr Kendall. It has nothing to do with the quality of his work.

This book was first published in 1999. It’s almost like the author was predicting the future with the Biden Administration and the whole “diversity” movement it has been pushing. People tearing down statues in recent years and trying to our erase history was put into fiction in this book all of those years ago. It’s like the author is a fortune teller. Of course you will get the bad reviews of the liberals saying the book is racist and all the other bull s*** because it goes against their narrative of how things are and what they are becoming. Anyone can enjoy this book if they have an open mind. It’s seems like people love it or hate it in the reviews. I don’t feel love or hate for this book. With the reality of how things are today, this book was scary to read. It’s like the author shows the accepted hate against white people and where it could possibly lead to as technology advances and this hate gets more accepted every day.

A stark, racial warning, wrapped up a futuristic, sci-fi thriller!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 10, 2015
Verified Purchase
It's been an exceptionally long time since I felt compelled enough to write a book review... The circumstances are even more unusual given the fact I'm only halfway through reading the actual book! Furthermore, I'm not going to concern my review with the actual storyline of the novel, as that has already been done elsewhere by other dedicated reviewers. I do, however, hope to (i) draw your attention to the inevitable realism of the predictions made by a talented and currently commercially unrecognised author, and (ii) make a necessary comparison with our own modern age, proving that white Europeans (as other ethnic groups) are indeed being subliminally manipulated, socially bullied and politically pacified in order to be led down a biological path of no return. Whilst this wouldn't be the right place to propose necessary counter-actions to the nightmarish, politically-correct future Kendall creates, the first start would be to buy, beg or borrow this book... The quote "know thy self, know thy enemy" will never be more appropriate, and regrettably I can foresee the day in two hundred years when this book finally achieves posthumous recognition for its pinpoint accuracy, if not two hundred years too late.

Before I begin my review, please don't fall for the ploy that being an anti-multiculturalist (or, from a different perspective, being pro-white European) is a path for the bigoted, lazy and stupid among us. Yes, the western media and powers-that-be frequently forcibly create misleading mental links in the minds of the happily blind masses, however some of the most intelligent writers (of both fiction and non-fiction) are to be found in this proudly niche genre of anti-PC publishing. Look up some of the essays by Dr. William Luther Pierce and you'll see what I mean. Secondly, and most importantly, if the prospect of thinking or becoming anti-establishment or anti-"political correctness" makes you feel uneasy, please, force aside any of the inevitable feelings of guilt that arise within your gut. These are essentially a pre-programmed biological response to years of ever-increasing mental conditioning, and particularly, the thoughts of being pro-European are often popularly denounced as being "racist". This book is not "racist", nor will it ever be... It's just pro-race. Overcome the self-doubting, prejudicial view you have blinding your own outlook, and immerse yourself into the possibilities of what may lie beneath the surface.

Although "Hold Back This Day" has been popularly described as the "white man's 1984", it's important to mention that Kendall's novel doesn't overtly borrow from Orwell's classic, although both make highly accurate predictions concerning the future of control, surveillance and societal manipulation. The bleak, futuristic, coffee-coloured world Ward Kendall paints with his masterful use of the English language inches closer with every day that passes. Personally, although I cannot recommend this book enough, it's a genuine concern that (should the book one day receive the exposure it rightfully deserves) the mindless, brainwashed masses of the current Western world would no doubt happily join the pro-PC agitators in attempts to discredit Kendall with being a "racist nut-job" or perhaps, more simply, another "textbook conspiracy theorist". After all, any book with an anti-multicultural agenda could only EVER be classified as racist nonsense... Or could it? In an effort to prove that this dystopian, Africanised future poses a genuine threat to the safety and society of the white European in 2015, here's some (quite real) food for thought... No spoilers either!

1. The novel is set in a bleak, undesirable and exceptionally frightening future where the individual countries of Earth (and their respective governments) have been blended and merged into a unified world government, colloquially referred to as "World Gov". Borders no longer exist, and World Gov controls access to the differing "sectors" (previously continents) by use of permanent, electronic wrist bracelets. Whilst it is currently the fashion, certainly within England, to dismiss such a proposition of a world government, no matter how factually-based, as conspiracy theorist rubbish, there are thousands of websites (along with tens of thousands, if not millions, of people) rightfully concerned about such a development. Universally, this underground connivance has become so well-known that it is often referred to as the "New World Order". Do some online research and prepare to become worried.

2. In the novel, Kendall suggests the efforts of the unified government (World Gov) have virtually eradicated the white European from the face of the earth, in the apparently "noble" pursuit of removing any identifiable trace of racial background or distinctive genetic makeup from the world citizens. In this fictitious world, the government subsequently classifies and distinguishes the varying brown masses by skin-tone numbers (1-9) with a view at narrowing those to an acceptable median. Yet over FORTY-FIVE years ago (in 1969, no less) the majority-white pop group Blue Mink sang the famous lyrics "take a pinch of black man, wrap him up in white skin... Oh what a beautiful dream, if it could only come true... What we need is a great big melting pot... Turning out coffee-coloured people by the score". If that wasn't proof enough of the hidden "unification" agenda, when a white European and a black African/black Caribbean couple have a child, the child typically self-identifies as being "black", thereby statistically eradicating any white/European heritage. Now, take a look around at every state or agency-issued poster, leaflet or book. The ever-happy group of one African, one European, one south Asian and one Oriental all smiling and holding hands is yet another stage in the realisation of this subliminal moulding process. [Quick experiment - try a Google search for "famous white people" and look aghast at the results it brings up!]

3. In the novel (notably, first published approx. 2004 I believe) any individual who fails to be seen actively embracing "multiculturalism" at any and every publicly opportune moment risks being sent to World Gov sanctioned "Racial Sensitivity Camps". In today's apparently enlightened age of 2015, a quick Google search for the topic of "racial sensitivity training" brings back thousands of results, from diversity websites and "action" charities through to actual, corporate businesses, all operating with the sole purpose of "countering racist thoughts and beliefs" through the implementation of - guess what? Racial sensitivity training. A perfect example of Kendall's fiction becoming frightening fact.

4. In the novel, Kendall depicts the World Gov educational establishment as, over time, having purposefully re-written white Europeans out of history. The world-changing invention of the steam engine and the discovery of penicillin are now attributed to African inventors, as it is proclaimed that the white Europeans simply "stole" the inventions and creations of the much more intelligent, ever downtrodden black Africans. Does this sound ridiculous? Does this fictitious proposal sound so incredulous that it couldn't possibly be true? Do a Google search for "black invention myths" and read the truth for yourself... Although the sudden exposure of the discreet creation of this "alternative history" has, for the time being, confined the scandal to resting behind closed doors.

5. Finally... Kendall makes mentions of the unified world religion, Chrislaminbuddism, and its respectively consolidated public holidays. But, ask yourself, when was the last time you celebrated White History Month? Or Albert Einstein day? When did you last sit down to watch White Entertainment Television? Does your place of employment have a White European Association? These are realities for those who identify with the racial group self-identified as being "black", and in the real world, it's currently considered distasteful (if not downright "racist") within general society for whites to disapprove of, or turn their backs on, such diverse and equal "celebrations" or "holidays". Racial sensitivity training, anyone?!

Ultimately, if you, like me, are a white European, and if you, like me, are increasingly concerned about (or developing an accelerated awareness of) multiculturalism and the possibilities of a hidden, subliminal, government drive to conceal racial identity from the perspective of the white European, then this book is for you. Thus far, I cannot fault the language, the grammar, or the overall tone of the novel, and I firmly believe Kendall should be praised for raising his head above the proverbial parapet. Kendall should be applauded for speaking out, as individualism drowns in the rising government-created waters of pro-ethnic multiculturalism. Kendall's fearlessness of criticism from those subscribed to the pro-PC agenda should not be underestimated, nor should his remarkable achievement in successfully having this novel published and made available worldwide.

It appears this book has a sporadic history of availability - my own, personal recommendation (for what it's worth) is that, for the sake of a few pounds, you take advantage of it being currently commercially available on Amazon Prime. Order it, receive it, sit down somewhere comfortable and begin to read. The chances are, you'll only put it down briefly to sadly reflect on the comparisons with our own, current reality. Metaphorically speaking, white Europeans are already passengers in a plane set to auto-pilot, which is currently travelling at a reasonable speed. The destination? Only your government knows that. But why let yourself become an unwilling passenger? Why allow anybody with an ulterior motive to fly you anywhere? Let this book be your first step in questioning the overall agenda. Don't let the tired cries of "racist!" silence your pride in your history, or quench your thirst for knowledge. Give yourself credit for sitting here, reading this, and remember - the meaning of the word "diversity" has been twisted beyond recognition. To be "discriminating" used to mean you had distinguished taste. Modern diversity is an illusion - it is certainly NOT diverse, and there will be no hope without sacrifice... Believe me.

All that remains to be said is this: if this book forms your first proverbial step, I wish you the very best on your journey to enlightenment. The rest, as they say, is up to you. Thank you for reading.
