Always Ahead: A Toby Dunbar Novel
Book 2 of 3
Always Ahead is about pace. About the emotional violence of always arriving one step too late. About the humiliation of knowing you are not stupid, not blind, not careless—yet still feeling handled by something with a longer reach and calmer hands. It is also about the moment a person begins to resist that arrangement. The moment he stops asking only what is happening and starts asking who benefits from him staying behind.
This is the second movement in The Wrong Story Trilogy. The fear is deeper here. The logic is sharper. The consequences are no longer waiting politely in the distance. They are moving.
Read carefully.
In some stories, the most frightening thing is not the body on the ground.
It is the mind that got there first.
Reviews
5 out of 5 stars The Tension of Always Being One Step Behind Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2026 Format: Kindle This sounds like a compelling psychological thriller built around an unsettling sense of pursuit and manipulation. I liked the focus on Toby Dunbar’s growing awareness that someone, or something, is consistently ahead of him. The themes of control, fear, timing, and questioning who truly benefits from the situation add an intriguing layer beyond a straightforward mystery. The premise creates a strong feeling of tension and anticipation that makes you want to uncover what happens next.
