Thank you for your review and I am glad you enjoyed reading it so much. I am constantly on the lookout for non put down-able books I'm sure sci-fi fans will enjoy this book. My next comment does not reflect you nor your review, but this is at least the 3rd sci-fi other world book that has been BOTM in the past week. I'm sure they are perfectly good books, and I am actually reading one of them, but this genre is generally not my style. I will not be completing this book.

I am not a fan of science fiction so I added this book to my not interested in reading shelf. I love that the story has a female protagonist and great character development. The plot just wasn't for me but I think that this book will capture fans of science fiction thrillers easily.

I´m not a science fiction fan and this book is just way too out-there for my taste.
I´ll keep it in mind for science fiction readers. Great review, I´m glad you enjoyed it.

Time travel, genetically engineered people, mission to save the "natural people". It must be an exciting book. But why did Jennifer lead her friend to believe her dead? And why did she choose the 21th century to come back to? It must definitely seem archaic to her, with no conveniences in her understanding, compared to the 30th century. It will be interesting to read how the heroine will adjust to our world without showing her intellect and the knowledge of the future.

wow! this book is great for science fiction lovers. It has great character development and suspense. The plot is well developed and I just cannot wait for the next sequel. It is interesting to know why Jennifer wanted her friend to believe she was dead.

It sounds like this author did a good job with storyline and development of characters. Time travel stories can be difficult to follow at times, but this one seems like it was crafted skillfully. Even though science fiction is not my genre of choice, I enjoyed this review.

The idea of a heroine travelling in time from the future and then having to feign amnesia to hide her future origins is a fascinating one. And she also finds that there is (was, will be?) someone just like her with a similar name in the 21st century. It would be intriguing to find out why that person is missing in this story that explores what our future may hold if science develops in certain ways.

Wow, to be on a mission to save the human race from the Syndos by going into the past sounds interesting. Can't believe Captain Jennifer ends up escaping to the 21st century instead and claiming to have amnesia? Sounds like a stressful life! I would have to agree that secrecy is major theme here - Jennifer seems to just be living a lie, but I love how the author made her into a strong and brave character. It's great to hear the characters were well-developed and the plot was intriguing. I'm glad you enjoyed this one very much, but I'm afraid erotica isn't to my taste, as I've read in other reviews. Thank you for sharing!

Great review. The story sounds intriguing. I love the Scifi genre and like you, this book will be a quick read.

We the lovers of science have so much to learn from the book because it deals with cosmology. The protagonist will definitely make turns which would make readers feel as if they are part of the narrative.
