I love time travel stories. Going as per the rate of global warming and general change in temperature, I had also estimated a tatal burn of the planet by around 55th century. I didn't know fictional novels could be that accurate. Thanks for the review.

I do love stories concerning adventure and findings. 30th century by Mark Kingston sounds the right book for my desire to venture into the future.This book opens the reader's mind and captures his attention and you can't help but get yourself involved. What a nice book! :lol:

One thing I love about 30th Century: Contact by Mark Kingston Levin PhD is the fact that it's full of adventure and there's much to learn especially on technological advances. I will consider reading it. Great review.

Even though I normally like books involving time travel, this one's description just doesn't do it for me any more than the previous books' did. I also don't like the graphic sex mentioned.

Even though this book stands on it's own, I am not a fan of sci-fi. However, I appreciate your interesting review.

What a well-written, glowing review! I am glad to know that the author included pictures of these abstract forces. I am intrigued by these futuristic practices... informal speech between spouses and consented orgies? Wow. It is also a bit scary that the 57th century, which isn't too far away, is so bleak. :eusa-think:

This is a great book on time travel. However, I had a problem internalizing it. Thanks to your great review, I now know what its all about. Congratulations and thanks.

A very informative review. My nit-picky brain would fight me on jumping into the third book in the series without having read the first two. I appreciate the context given in the first paragraph of your review.
While I'm not offended by graphic sex scenes, I tend to find them unnecessary and a waste of time, similar to when I'm watching a movie. I generally roll my eyes and, if at home, either skip over the "erotic" scene or do something else until it is done and we can get back to the real story. :tiphat:

The author seems to have an inborn art of creativity. I wish it would be possible to stay to see his seemed predicted future as portrayed in the book. Great review

The review is explainable. Without much effort one is able to capture the intrigues. Normally, science based stories tend to pose intricacies in them but thanks to the author because he has softened the mystery. Congrats on being BOTD.

Even though I'm not a fan of books set too much in the future an time travel your review made it very appealing read. Good job on that. Not into group sex either. Thank you for the review.

I’m glad the author is continuing to pursue his story through new volumes, but I’m not a fan of the explicit material. I hope others enjoy!

This sci-fi time-travel novel is the third in the 30th Century series. It takes you to a world of travel to other galaxies, alien life and artificial intelligence. Congratulations to the author for being chosen as BOTD. Thanks to the reviewer for your excellent and helpful review.

This sounds like an exciting trilogy about time travel and the future. I like that the author is able to provide readers with visuals so they are able to fully comprehend what he is describing. The premise sounds intriguing as the main character will have to figure out what happened to the 57th century. Thanks for the wonderful review!
