That was an excellent review. Even though there are issues, the book sounds like it could be a very interesting read.

Sounds like an interesting book. I would definitely consider put this in my want to read shelf but I'm kind of skeptical about it, especially where the story loses its point for a little while. Otherwise the book sounds good. Awesome review by the way.

This book has an interesting plot with time travel and such, but the confusing French seems like it would get in the way. This review was very thorough and descriptive. Good job!

A time travel sci-fi with elements of fiction. The hero, aptly named Jennifer Hero, is intelligent, educated and has extra ordinary abilities.

It will be an overstatement if I say this book is more of an activist log. I have been through the review to feel the authors handwritings; I can feel the grip of leadership and a fight for race. I'll still say it's a good one.

I found this book to be very adventurous and excited. I enjoyed the fact that its has many plots and things going on all at once. The thinking about the mission and the reason to complete the quest kept me in suspense on whats going to happen next.

The concept is very intriguing, but from the sample I viewed, I certainly agree with you about the illustrations. They do not belong in a science fiction novel of this nature.

Funny, the book sounds creepy but must really be a good read especially to really understand the whole story and even the writers frame of mind

I haven't read "30th Century: Escape", nor heard of it before but I think I may check it out further. I'm not very much into Sci-Fi/Fantasy but there are a few that I have enjoyed in the last few months. This might be another. I loved how detailed your review was and even though there weren't any spoilers, it felt like I was in the book itself. There's adventure, some romance and those are a couple things that I am into. I'm very glad I read your review and am excited to possibly pick it up in the future!

Thanks!!

It sounds like a very unique book. And the negative qualities don't sound to horribly off putting. Thanks for the great review!

Latest Review: Quest for Closure by David B. McKinney

This science fiction is quite intriguing. Clearly, the 30th century is different and more advanced in terms of technology than 2015. However, it seems like Captain Hero is in a real pinch. I wonder how her nano-enhanced capabilities will help her survive in a new environment and time. Thank you for an awesome review!

This actually sounds very interesting! And I love a book that will make me think to myself "I never thought about that!"

Thank you for the review.

Thank you for the detailed and honest review. What I like about this story is its futuristic theme. It is thought-provoking though, that someone from the 30th century managed to reach our generation.

I'm not too sure about the graphic sexual scenes, but overall this still sounds like an interesting story. Congrats on BOTD.

I was a little interested in this until you mentioned that it has descriptive sexual acts. Not for me! I can't stand pornographic books and the impact they have on a society.
