Review by OM09 -- 30th Century: Escape (General Audience...
[Following is a volunteer review of "30th Century: Escape (General Audience Edition)" by Mark Kingston Levin PhD.]
Captain Jennifer, leader of the Secret Society heads the mission to rectify the moral compass of the race called Syndos which is determined to wipe out the human race called Naturals. She has her groups of operatives led by commanders, ready for this mission for which they prepare to travel three hundred years back in time. A few minutes past the beginning of the mission, things change, diverging widely. While her task force is set for the 27th century, Jennifer chooses to leave them mid-mission and goes to the 21st century. Why? What was her objective? What about the mission now? Your curiosity will be attended to with the first book in the 30th Century trilogy, titled 30th Century: Escape (General Audience Edition). Authored by Dr. Mark Kingston Levin, having been a doctorate student of the great theoretical physicist Paul Dirac, a tale of time travel, survival, feelings and rich scientific exploration awaits you on your journey.
The plot begins with Jennifer stranded on a French atoll trying to arrange means of survival for herself. Eventually she is found and rescued by people, who happen to be researchers, out to inspect radioactivity on the atoll owing to French nuclear tests in the past. Jennifer, being from the 30th century, is advanced in all aspects of her life compared to humans of the contemporary century. Throughout the story, she continuously makes efforts to hide her identity from the people she encounters. She doesn't let anyone know about her mission, not even a select few people she forms connections with. When asked about her past, Jennifer says that she is suffering from amnesia and doesn't remember anything. Jennifer works on her dissertation and sends it to globally recognized publishers. Unfortunately her paper on Dark Energy gets rejected several times until it is published by an Australian scientific journal. A crucial component of this science fiction adventure book is the portrayal and open minded discussion of taboo subjects, channeled through conversations among the characters in the story. Bisexuality and multiple partner sexual activities are part of the plot.
The following portion was of excitement to me. Jennifer was taken by Marty, her 21st century husband to a hypnotherapy session to have her look at her past. The session revealed her future activities. How can a hypnotherapy session, aimed at recovering the past, showcase the future? Jennifer cunningly lies to Marty and her doctor that she had been writing a story set in the 30th century, where the Secret Society is fighting the Syndos. They are convinced and fooled for the nth time. I faced serious problems at first when I encountered bisexuality and multiple partner sexual activities in the story. Without condemning them, I went on with the story. To my surprise, the author addressed the taboo subjects from a humanitarian perspective and emphasized on love and connection. Although it was challenging, my horizon expanded after the read. I really loved the scientific explanations in the book.
Dr. Mark Kingston Levin, the author of 30th Century: Escape (General Audience Edition) has presented the story in the easiest language possible although it is replete with scientific jargon. With his visionary eyes, he has gone to the 30th century and has talked about its highly elevated and liberal human culture. He has described atolls beautifully and the underwater life vividly.
To the readers, I hereby mention that, although30th Century: Escape (General Audience Edition) is an excellent work of science fiction, it contains taboo subjects like nudity, bisexuality and multiple partner sexual activities discussed in bright light. The book contains a topless picture of Jennifer from the back. The ideal of liberalism and freedom is the core philosophy of this book. Mild profanity is present. The minimum category bar is young adults. I recommend readers to have an open mind while going through the book. You will feel an expansion of your being. A minor typo did not hamper my reading experience. The pictures are excellent and the book cover is beautiful. I rate the first book in the trilogy 4 out of 4 stars.
