"When Time Rolled Back" by Ed Earl Repp is a science fiction novel likely written in the early to mid-20th century. The story revolves around Rog, a young man of a primitive tribe who discovers a mysterious metallic sphere in the mountains. The novel explores themes of evolution, knowledge preservation, and societal progress as Rog grapples with his unique differences from his tribe and his desire to lead his people toward a better future. The narrative follows Rog's journey of self-discovery after he finds the sphere that contains knowledge of a lost civilization. As he delves into this repository of information, he learns about the progression of humanity and recognizes the dangers of their current savage lifestyle. Through his encounters with Johann Adam, the revived ancient man within the sphere, Rog gains insights into scientific principles and the mistakes of past civilizations. Ultimately, after a fierce struggle against his father Sarak for leadership, Rog emerges victorious, pledging to guide his tribe towards enlightenment with Adam’s wisdom, aiming to prevent the cycle of destruction that led their ancestors to annihilation.
