Beautifully written story! I love the suspense and action, it was hard for me to stop reading! The wording for some of the text was a little confusing.

Nice elaborate review on this science fiction book which takes us to thirtieth century in future and back to twenty first century. Captain Jennifer Hero escapes from the thirtieth century to the twenty first century to save human race from a catastrophe and in the meanwhile gets trapped in a different kind of problem. The coincidence building in the story is quite appreciable.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

Having read the review I am excited to get my hands on a copy. Science Fiction is my favorite genre and I am anxious to see how the time travel aspect is dealt with. I am also curious as to how the main character is able to assume the identity of a namesake who conveniently disappears. Curious....

The character development sounds very interesting and complex. Not your average science fiction novel indeed. I applaud the author boldness and technique in opening different avenues to new audiences to her work. I read several comments where several reluctant readers like myself had changed their minds and decided to give it a shot.

Look, I'm a simple girl. I see time travel, I do grabby hands and devour the book/tv series/movie. I just love them, okay?! Anything with Doctor Who vibes. Guess I've got my weekend planned out!

Nice review, great premise and story. Time travel always makes for good reading especially when done by a capable writer. This seems like the case here. Congratulations to the author on#BOTD

It must be a real treat to science fiction fans! Time-travel stories are many but based on the review, how this novel is narratesd seemed to be what makes it different from the rest.

I love books that are set in the future and always think it is cool when they time travel but that jump is still in the future! I also appreciate character development and it sounds like that is done well here.

Fantasy/Sci-fI is one of my favorite genres. A strong female protagonist attempting to hide her superiority many centuries in the past is an interesting perspective. Time travel is a common theme in many sci-fi novels, but it sounds like the author put a spin on it that took it beyond the norm. I think I’ll add this to my to-read list. Thanks for the in-depth review.

A science fiction thriller with good development of characters, good plot and good writing skill with some explicit content. I'd like to check this book out. Thank you for the detailed review.

From a sampling, the first thing that came to mind was H. G. Wells, but with more of a cosmological twist to it. While this book tackles the heavily respected science fiction genre, this story takes on the idea of time travel from an entirely new angle. Well done.
