"30th Century: Escape" by Mark Kingston Levin, PhD, follows Jennifer Hero, a future leader on a mission to prevent dystopia. Stranded in the 21st century, she grapples with identity and her mission's weight. Themes of time travel, personal growth, and relationships blend seamlessly. Key scenes, like Jennifer and Kyoko's cave adventure, add suspense and excitement. Environmental and cultural preservation add depth. Rated five stars. This is a very informative and honest review. Thank you.

"30th Century: "Escape" is a gripping merger of sci-fi adventure, ethics, and longing for a simpler existence. Although the pacing could have been more brisk, the mind-provoking themes and realistically depicted future world will make readers ask themselves what they would have done in Jennifer`s place.

I like time travel sci-fis but I don't know how I feel about adding environmental and cultural preservation to the plot. I wonder how Jennifer sorted this out and if she was ever able to go back to her own time.
