I am glad that one of the themes of the book is cultural and environmental preservation; this is an important issue everywhere. I cannot wait to see the historical insights included in the book. Above all. the story itself sounds fascinating and the events really incredible. I am wondering how they eventually got rescued when they got trapped. It is one of the many reasons to read the book. Thanks for the review.

What if you had the power to travel back in time and change the course of history? What if you decided to escape to a different era instead? This is the dilemma faced by Jennifer Hero, the protagonist of 30th Century: Escape, a science fiction novel by Mark Kingston Levin, PhD. Congrats on #BOTD!

Mark Kingston's "30th Century: Escape (General Audience Edition)" A fascinating voyage into a world where technology is king is provided by Levin PhD. Readers are immersed in a world of sophisticated AI and authoritarian rule through the eyes of the protagonist, Tom Smith, which encourages contemplation on the nature of mankind and the ethics of automation. Action and provocative issues are expertly balanced in Levin's story to keep readers interested—both new and devoted sci-fi enthusiasts. This version is still deep and exciting, but it's still approachable, making it a must-read for everyone interested in the relationship between technology and society.

I would enjoy reading about Jennifer's adventure and about the personal growth she undergoes as she's trying to save the world. Who better to save humanity than someone from the future right? Sci-fi is one of my favorite reading genres so I appreciate that this book contains time travel, as well as historical elements. I also love that it also puts an importance on environmental and cultural preservation, it's a great way to bring to attention the cause and potentially preserve culture.

I have read and reviewed the book but found it lacking some crucial aspects of a worthwhile novel. The narration was poor, the conversations felt stiff and unrealistic.
Atleast the storyline was unique.

I want to know more about Jennifer and Kyoko's adventures in the Polynesian Islands. That sounds so fun and exciting. Another factor that caught my attention was the book shedding importance on environmental and cultural preservation. Thank you for the insightful review. Congrats on BOTD!

Thank you for explaining this book's many angles and plotlines. The plot doesn't only centre on scifi 30th century epic conflict, or the main character's personal side quest with time travel. These are both important to the story to explain where the character comes from, but the story progresses towards her unexpectedly trying to save 21st century Earth from environmental damage. The use of history and geography to enhance this theme makes the book more relevant to our timeline.

What a captivating and innovative exploration of transformation, personal growth, and the intriguing concept of time-travel! I was particularly drawn to the environmentally conscious themes woven throughout the narrative, as the characters demonstrate a profound desire to protect and preserve the natural world.
