WARD KENDALL’S PRO-WHITE FICTION
First published March 16th 2020, and updated March 20th 2020
Ward Randolf Kendall, better known simply as Ward Kendall, is a celebrated and preeminent pro-White dystopian, apocalyptic science fiction writer, political commentator and author of the infamous and highly recommended pro-White novel Hold Back This Day (2000).
Born on December 21st, 1954 in Fort Worth, Tarrant country, Texas, Kendall is the son of Walter Kendall and Frances Ward.
Kendall married Kimetha Ann Geiser, born August 9th, 1956 in Cincinnati, Hamilton, Ohio, on February 1st, 1993 in Honolulu, Honolulu, Hawaii. Together they have two children, Jennifer Kathleen Kendall (born February 19th, 1998), and Karen Alexandra Kendall (born December 16th, 1995).
Today he lives in Southern California.
Kendall has written four highly recommended fictional novels, detailed below, and one political manifesto.
He comments,
“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.”
Can anything be accomplished through fiction? Uncle Tom’s Cabin has been credited with starting the Civil War, and The Turner Diaries has been given credit for inspiring The Order as well as other things, so the power of the written word shouldn’t be underestimated!
At this end of this page you can find contact details for Ward Kendall.
Below you will find all details about each of his novels, publication history details and personal correspondence regarding each novel that I had with Kendall.
Before that, one more word from Kendall himself,
“I’m an independent writer who writes about controversial subjects and ideas, things mainstream authors rarely, if ever, tackle. Yes, I like to read Dean Koontz, Clive Cussler, Stephen King, and other popular, big name writers just like a lot of others, along with the best authors from science fiction’s Golden Age, such as Clarke, Bradbury, and Heinlein. But when it comes to my own writing projects I tend to venture into deeper waters, the ones George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, Ayn Rand, and a few others chose to wade in, seeking, perhaps, to stir up the silt beneath and see what emerges.
There’s danger in doing that, however. No, I’m not speaking of the physical kind, although that is always a possibility. Instead, I’m speaking of a greater danger, the kind that shuts down people’s minds, whenever they hear or read unpleasant truths. And that has never been truer than in today’s world, straight-jacketed as it is by political correctness, Cultural Marxism, and the pernicious falsehood of egalitarianism.
In today’s world, particularly the European-founded Western world, ripped by Islamic terrorism, Third World invaders, and racial unrest, casting a spotlight into Cultural Marxism’s darker recesses is heavily frowned upon, which is why mainstream writers stick to conventional tales of action and adventure, crime, murder, horror, love stories‒whatever.
Safe waters to swim in, to be sure. But write a novel about the end of the white race? Or the measures necessary‒the real measures‒needed to end unemployment and poverty in America? Oh no. That’s heresy. That’s something that should not be written about. But I write about them. And if you’ve found your way here, then perhaps you’re ready to pick up one of my books…and read about them.”
Personally, I highly recommend ALL the novels by this author, hence why I created this page. I hope you enjoy and learn from them as much as I and millions of others have.

A novel about the last Whites on Earth… It is 85 years after the Unification and the West as we know it is dead, replaced by a global-wide police state and ruled by the iron-fisted leaders of World Gov. 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…
“Ward Kendall’s Hold Back This Day is a dystopian science fiction novel about a future in which a totalitarian world government promotes universal miscegenation to eliminate all racial differences — in the name of diversity, of course. Hold Back This Day tells the story of how Jeff Huxton, one white man standing on the brink of our race’s extinction, regained his racial consciousness and pride and began to fight back. Hold Back This Day is a fast-paced, highly entertaining, yet deeply serious and subversive novel of ideas.” – Dr. Greg Johnson (source)
“Ward Kendall has written the White man’s 1984, with a generous dose of Brave New World and an ending right out of Robert A. Heinlein. 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 Independence Novels Quintet (source)
First published by PublishAmerica in 2000. However, due to a conflict Kendall had with the publisher, Wim Meiners from the Netherlands, this first publishing venture came to an abrupt end not long after copies went up for sale. “One of those copies bearing the PublishAmerica imprint are, by the way, the rarest copies that exist today. Anyway, here’s a link to a letter I wrote to Alex Linder of VNN some years ago explaining what transpired.” (personal correspondence (March 14, 2020) between author & myself)
Under the pseudonym Ellison J. Peterson I wrote a review of HBTD. At the time, on Facebook, Kendall commented that this review was the only one to capture the true essence of the novel. Kendall, after reading a review of HBTD by J.B. Hood for Vanguard News Network, wrote a letter to Alex Linder to clarify the publishing history.
You can read a 2011 review by Alex Kurtagic here.
“Compelling . . .” – Jared Taylor’s American Renaissance magazine
“This book has power . . .” – Michael Rienzi, Scientist & Editor of Legion Europa
“Young people today consume steady diets of sci-fi, smut, and gore. It is not my cup of tea. But the explicitly racial topics and themes so abundant in this novel may strike a chord with young whites struggling for a sense of identity in today’s racial chaos. For in places all over America, the day has already come when young whites feel themselves to be racial freaks slated for extinction.” – Ingrid Zündel, author of the Lebensraum Trilogy
“In Hold Back This Day, Ward Kendall writes in the grand tradition of dystopian fiction. Kendall presents us with a world in which many of our day’s trendy ideologies (mandated multiculturalism, media-promoted miscegenation, and militant racial egalitarianism, among others) are taken to a vicious and horrifying, but not entirely illogical, extreme. The really frightening thing about Kendall’s book is the plausibility of his scenario, if present trends continue.” – Andy Nowicki, author of The Columbine Pilgrim and Considering Suicide
“Kendall projects the equality project of the Left to its ultimate conclusion: a clinically depressive and stomach-churning future of planned extinction, universal poverty, and social degradation, built on cowardice, fuelled by envy, and defined by mediocrity. It seems a doomsday asteroid or a thermonuclear holocaust would be preferable to this.” – Alex Kurtagic, author of Mister
“I am so excited to find out that this wonderful book is available again. I highly recommend Hold Back This Day for young people in their late teens to early 20s, although I enjoyed it immensely in my 30s. I am going to make sure that every young person I know gets a chance to order this book.” – April Gaede

Alex Kinkade-renegade Englishman, ex-soldier, fighter, idealist…a man borne of a different time who finds himself thrust headlong into the 21st century, where everyone marches in lockstep toward a Brave New World. But it’s a world Kinkade wants no part of, even as he rides a roller-coaster of war and violence toward a final and shattering collision—against one man’s fanatical quest to forge his own dream: a dream to rid America of her unemployed masses—left permanently out of work by the ravages of robotic automation and god-like computers. Only Alex Kinkade can stop brilliant sociologist Dr. Paul Vogel from carrying out his mad scheme, a man determined to reshape the very destiny of Tomorrow…no matter how many people must die.
In personal correspondence with myself Kendall stated of the novel, “Regarding The Towers of Eden: It has a long and interesting history. In its original form, which languished on the editor’s desk at Del Rey Books of New York (I believe I may have said “Ballantine Books” in my GAB post to you but it was Del Rey Books) the manuscript was a good 400 pages longer than even the current 800 page version now being sold on Amazon. And that version was originally titled Windswept. So if the current 800 page version is much longer than the first version you acquired, neither that version or the one currently on Amazon holds a candle to the one that editor Shelley Shapiro wrestled with at Del Rey Books. So why didn’t that 1200 page version get reincarnated on Amazon? Well, the Internet as we know now did not exist when Windswept was written, nor the convenient flash-drives for saving such manuscripts. It was saved instead on old-style floppy disks, which were lost years ago. All that is left is the Windswept chapter outline. Even the original manuscript, written on paper in ballpoint ink is sadly gone, as well as the typed manuscript. As writer Mark Twain once said, “Three moves (from residence to residence) is as good as a fire.” And that is very true.
So, from a massive 1200 page version to its first printed version, Windswept first saw life on the public market under the title, Down To A Sunless Sea, which was a line taken from a poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, an English poet. In printed form, DTASS was around 275 pages, a much truncated version which focused on just one aspect of the massive Windswept story. So, why did I eventually change the title to The Towers of Eden? For one reason: that title, I was to discover, had already been taken by two or three other writers and when I discovered that, the next edition went through a title change. I like unique book titles, ones which only my books have. And for a brief time my TTOE was the only book with that unique title. Then two English writers published a non-fiction book called The Towers of Eden. But I was first in the world to use it.” (personal correspondence (March 14, 2020) between author & myself)

Arktos Publishing ALMOST published The Towers of Eden… “So what happened? Well, I was first approached by Daniel Friberg (who was behind my Skymning över Tellus deal before Arktos even existed) and he wanted to know if they could publish The Towers of Eden. Having dealt with Friberg, I agreed. But a week after I sent in my manuscript, the editor getting it formatted for publication happened to let his wife read it. And as Mr. Friberg shortly conveyed to me, “she objected to people being sent to concentration camps” and so he asked if that could be “modified”. Well, I said no. To do so would’ve neutered the whole point of the story. So….my publishing agreement with Arktos was quickly reneged. And that’s how that ended.
Since then, I’ve cut out all the middle men and handle everything, save for the actual printing. Anyway, I hope this answers your questions, but if you need any further clarification – or insight on other matters – feel free to let me know.” (personal correspondence (March 14, 2020) between author & myself)
ETERNITY BEACH
First published 2015 (Alternate Future Publishing)
Read chapter 3 here.
Purchase from Amazon here.
Blurb
What does a man do when he’s killed in a horrific freeway crash – only to wake up in a strange room? That’s Garrick Fenstad’s peculiar dilemma, and he’s not sure how to handle it. Especially since he’s got a million other dead people to keep him company, in a place that’s just a little bit strange. But the eats are free, he doesn’t have to pay a dime in rent, and he’s got the prospect of eternity to look forward to. Until he’s offered the chance to go back to Earth….and live again.
“An epic masterpiece that puts Homer to shame. Eternity Beach tells an incredibly profound and powerfully compelling story of conflict between good and evil—and authentic love and abhorrent hate—which transcends time and space. The complex character development is excellent, and the incredibly adventurous and suspenseful plot is spellbinding. I cannot recommend the book enough. The captivating story is definitely one that stays with the reader long after they set the book down—which is admittedly very hard to do. Between Hold Back This Day and Eternity Beach—and hopefully more to come—, Ward Kendall has provided much needed clarity to the present existential threats plaguing the West and has given voice to what must be done because of it in order for the destiny of the Occident to be fulfilled.” – Lawyer Kyle Bristow (source)

* Alternate Future Publishing, 2015, 638 pages, ISBN-13: 978-0692428740
* Alternate Future Publishing, 2016, 753 pages, ISBN-13: 9780692619636
* Alternate Future Publishing, 2016, 802 pages, ISBN-13: 9780692619636
Now, their has been some confusion regarding Eternity Beach’s 2016 publication release, with two editions and only one ISBN number; one at 802 pages (as is advertised everywhere) and one at 753 pages.
The edition I currently have I bought in 2017, published in 2016 and advertised as 802 pages with ISBN-13: 9780692619636.
Below you can see the cover, copyright page and final page of my current edition mentioned above..
Now, around 2017 just after I ordered another edition was released with the same ISBN but a different cover and page count. Below you will find a picture of the new cover and copyright page.
Regarding this discrepancy I contacted Ward; he replied: “In the longer version of Eternity Beach several things are different:
In the edition currently online, a number of editorial changes were made to correct errors that needed correcting, even if many readers might not have noticed them. Also, I moderately restructured certain passages; in short, in order to improve the writing (description, character, etc) in some areas, as far as the way a scene was rendered or dramatized. So that increased the page count by a little. Also, at the very end, I included the short first chapter of Hold Back This Day for readers who might want to sample what that novel is about. But even without that inclusion, the latest edition of Eternity Beach runs to 787 pages. Will I ever make such editorial changes in the future? Not likely. I’m happy with it as it now stands, and hope that readers enjoy the tale. Same goes for Hold Back This Day, and my other novels.
If I should change anything in the future, it might be a periodic updating of the book cover. Hold Back This Day, for instance, has had around seven or eight different book covers. Just look at any old book cover from a novel from the 1950’s (Arthur C. Clarke’s Childhood’s End, for instance) and compare it with its current version. Of course, many novels first published in the 1950’s have long gone out of print. Not true with Clarke’s novels, and certain other writers.
Anyway, that’s the background story behind Eternity Beach. I hope that helps explain the different page counts. Also, feel free to ask any other questions that may not have been answered in this email.” (personal correspondence (March 18, 2020) between author & myself)
Later he said in reply to another email, “According to both the US and UK Amazon websites, both the book cover and page count (802) are the same. In other words, there is not an “American version” and a “British version” of Eternity Beach. But below you will find a list of UK Amazon numbers that you can verify this, if you still have any concerns. The way Amazon works is once a new, updated manuscript of any given book is uploaded and becomes “live”, it is that version that customers receive, not a previous one.” (personal correspondence (March 18, 2020) between author & myself)
So rest assured, when you order from Amazon you will receive the new cover and the 802 page count with the editorial change the author made as mentioned above. Once I order again I will update this segment with the results.

Four seventeen year old high school kids. One a talented filmmaker named Andy Hupp Good-looking, a babe-magnet, kind of quirky. Mix in an unsolved mystery involving two vanished high school students. In a school were “social justice” is the mandatory religion. Then add a dark secret that lies somewhere south of the Texas border…
“A sinister and thrilling crime story! Ward Kendall’s “Fast Times at Cultural Marxist High” is a fast-paced novel set in the not-too-distant future where political correctness has firmly taken root and undesirables plague the American heartland at the invitation of Social Justice Warriors. Kendall does a great job bringing to life—through this medium of fiction—the nightmare that awaits our people as the moral and racial fabric of the United States unravels. We can only hope that Kendall’s sinister crime story remains a work of fiction and not a prophecy of things that are to come.” – Lawyer Kyle Bristow (Source)
