Review of 30th Century: Escape (General Audience Edition)
[Following is a volunteer review of "30th Century: Escape (General Audience Edition)" by Mark Kingston Levin PhD.]
Mark Kingston Levin's 30th Century: Escape: General Audience Edition is not only a roller coaster of science fiction and time travel; there’s a hidden whole level in which issues such as consequence, belonging, and shiftingly changing shades of morality are discussed.
The main hero, Jennifer Hero, is not only a futuristic soldier, but she is a true paradox. She carries within her the seeds of a future some might find horrifying: the complicated issues like superhuman powers, a sexual viewpoint turning in stark contrast with nowadays teenagers, or the potency of mental disorders she has been spying on.
Levin's description doesn't even shrink from the unpleasant. Jenny isn't the type to win either public or media affection. She's a sword, her actions slammed by a desire to get through as much as to help. Many things in the story, including the conflict, stem not from the death ray fights (those also exist!) but from how she opposes the world around her. In a way, she is not a stranger who's been taken to the past but a hero who could be an alien. Therefore, we remember that even heroes, who are regarded as heroes, can be outsiders.
Thematically, 30th Century: Escape: General Audience Edition is not experienced without a price tag, and depicts this conflict. For Jennifer and others, the bottom line is to do better for the nights to come. The question is: how much are they willing to sacrifice? Through splashes of an emotional mess, no matter how clear the intention behind their effort, the waves of time are getting shaken, leading to ethical dilemmas. And, while we are cheering for Levin's overdrive defiance from the coldness of'syndos’, the voice of Jennifer attacks him. She asks, Is there something worse than illness?
Here's where this book shines: It is not a simple “yes-no” solution. Instead of it, it is like a fine Wonderbox. The story unfolds before us as we notice Jennifer's difficult path, enjoy the performance of her lovely world, and despise the workings of the shackled society of the future. Here as well, the viewers see ourselves losing control and eventually becoming part of something much bigger and more inevitable. Though the readers, who are there more for some action, probably will hardly feel astounded by all aspects of science fiction history, the values of science fiction of that period transform its essence, and the readers like it more. I give this book a 5-star rating because of its typical good editing and lack of complaints. I didn't feel any dislike while reading the book.
