I really like The Lonely Hero, as it doesn't have the "escape" factor. The time travel could be depicted in the cover illustration to portray that part of it

NOW I am thinking "Heros out of time". Or, given the sex scenes, "Heros and Eros". Or how about "Three-way Hero" - because she goes to three centuries! Srsly.

Well, it's true the title was a bit out of place. My suggestion would be 30th century superhero.

I agree the book title is rather misplaced , I suggest "30th Century: Heroes and Pleasure"

The title does not seem to indicate well what the book is about, in my opinion. I like the first one that has suggested above. :techie-studyinggray:

I like this suggestion, I also thought the 'A hero in time' suggestion is fitting.

The title might be Jennifer's grief. The shadow of the century.

Nice. I totally agree with this alternate title.

Your comments sound funnier than the book itself. :) The title is obviously misleading and any of the previously suggested titles seem more appealing.

I like this suggestion as it gives you an idea of the possibilities that would be contained within the book. It also gives a sense of curiosity and wanting to know what is going on currently and why we are going on this journey. If I were to see this title on a book, it would draw me in to look at it. :D

I found the title misleading as there was more of a journey than an escape. I suppose "30th Century: Escape" sounds better than "30th Century: Journey" so I'd keep the title as it is until I can come up with something a little more enticing.
