This sounds interesting, and I am a fan of science fiction, but I pause at the problem of the story going nowhere for a part of the book, and I'm not fond of graphic sexual content. This may be a pass for me. Thanks for your honest and insightful review!

Wow! This book is exciting to read. Jennifer Hero is a strong woman and also serves as an inspiration for women.

Great Review!

Latest Review: "Solaris Seethes (Solaris Saga book 1)" by Janet McNulty

Post by Yashasvi »

Hi,

From your review, I get the feeling that the book is a bit of a mish-mash of multiple genres and books. There is the time travelling hero(from Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court). There is a Superhuman with symbiotes in her blood(from The Apocalypse Troll). Detailed descriptions of places to give it a bit of a travelogue "feel". Premise of a person trying to fit into a centuries older culture(from the 1632 series).

Then there is the graphic sexual scenes and the slowdown in the plot which I feel detract from the story.

All in all I am convinced not to read this book. Thanks for the detailed review.

There is nothing bad about the book, it is not for everybody rather for matured minds. Talking about over use adult activites is no body's business, that a young lad ventures in to save human race is interesting so if you say the book sophsticated for your liking you are free to go for your own kind of book. However i rate the book a 4 star .

Thanks for this review, I think I myself I can't enjoy this book so much since the storyline sounds that dry. But anyway I can still check it.

Reading is a way to understand the world and ease your boredom. Actually, I am a student and I hate to read books have no pictures...a little bit visual learner but now I am glad that I got to appreciate the context.

Launching a covert operation to save the human race right from the 30th century (as the name suggests)back in time to the 27th century and finally to the 21st century where Jennifer now struggles to build a new life for herself gives a picture of quite an exciting and thought provoking book,the noticeable flaws notwithstanding. Thumbs up for a well written review,thanks!

Wow good job on the detailed review! The cover of this book immediately drew me in. Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of time travel so this doesn't seem like a book for me.

Latest Review: "Can I Be Frank?" by Rob Wyatt

Post by Shireks Nancy »

I think it is ironic that an author can take the trouble to research on what might have happened 9000 years ago and not be able to research on basic French which is spoken in the modern day world. I liked the review, it made me curious to read the book.
