I have heard about missions into the past to correct timelines, but missions into the future (especially the distant future) are far more rare! I wonder what this one holds... Great review!

This seems like it would be a great book to read! I would definitely be skipping the sex things however. Not my taste. It is going to be added to my list of books.

After Jenny time travels to the 57th century and sees that the Earth was burned and contained no life, Jennifer and a team go on a mission to the 56th century to see what they can find out what happened and try to prevent it from happening. It is good that the author included a summary of the other two books in the series. This would help readers to remember or to inform them what had happened.

The prologue seemed to provide the background from the prior books well. It’s good to know you can jump right in to the third book in the series and not get lost. Thank you for your review.

Latest Review: The Artificial Intelligence Rights and Responsibilities Act” by Alton Booth

Post by Jorge Leon Salazar »

A book about a woman who lived in the thirtieth century and was able to explore in later centuries, upon reaching the fifty-seventh century she finds that there is no longer life on earth, so she made arrangements to execute a Project called Magnetar, whose mission was to travel to the fifty-sixth century and being there, hoped to confirm what caused the Earth to burn and take measures to prevent this event. A book that seems suitable for lovers of science fiction thrillers.

Time travel into the future where Earth has lost all its life, does sound interesting. I like that the characters are well described and there are not many grammatical mistakes. If the book isn’t too long, I won’t mind reading it.

I haven't read any of the books in this s series. But now after reading this comment, I do wish to read it soon. The suspense as to what caused the earth to burn, and what will happen next. This is interesting. Great review

I didn't like the first installment of the series much, but this one sounds a bit more cohesive and with a meaningful storyline. I wonder what would be the ultimate outcome at the end of this book to warrant a fourth part in the series. Thank you for the detailed review.

It's really good that the author offers a prologue and other resources to make the reading easier because oftentimes sci-fi books with complex world-building and time travel can make the reader feel a bit confused.
I'm not much into sci-fi, but I enjoyed your thorough and candid review. Thank you!

This sounds like an amazing series and this one is already the third installment. I like that Jenny is in the 56th century in an attempt at preventing a cataclysmic end to earth. Nice review.

Sounds like it was a great idea to use maps and drawings to help readers know what the author was describing. I'll skip this book, though. I don't read stories with graphic sex scenes. Wonderful review!
Just reading... :techie-studyingbrown: :techie-studyinggray:
