"30th Century: Escape (General Audience Edition)," written by Mark Kingston Levin, PhD, is a science fiction book. The main conflict centers on the Naturals, a human tribe on the brink of extinction in the thirty-first century due to a rival group called the Syndos. As Captain Jennifer Hero embarks on a perilous mission to alter history and attempts to save the Naturals by traveling back in time to the 27th century, excitement mounts. However, only a few things go according to plan, as she becomes trapped in the 21st century and sends her squad to the 27th.

When Jennifer is saved by Professor Marty and his team, the story unexpectedly shifts, and she is exposed to the difficulties of living in this century. She has left a technologically advanced world only to find herself in a less developed one. Her path involves self-discovery and adaptation as she meets new people, builds connections, and faces the gaps in her knowledge from a bygone period. Readers remain on the edge of their seats throughout, eager to find out whether Jennifer and her allies can stop the Syndos and preserve mankind.

World-building is one of the book's most compelling features. Levin vividly portrays the thirty-first century as a future defined by cutting-edge technology and the uncomfortable coexistence of humans and genetically modified Syndos. He then deftly draws a comparison between this and the problems facing the globe in the twenty-first century. The protagonist, Jennifer Hero, is not only a powerful and realistic character but also my favorite. It was encouraging to witness her capacity to use her cunning and skill to survive in this strange new environment after being thrown into such an unfamiliar history. Her internal conflict—the attempt to balance her sophisticated knowledge with 21st-century constraints—is both funny and captivating.

There is nothing that I disliked about this book. It’s been professionally edited, and I didn’t encounter any grammatical errors. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars and wholeheartedly recommend it to all readers of fantasy and science fiction. You will have a great time reading this book.
