Your review speaks about a rescue, trip in time from 30th century to 21th, sense of morality and very passionate relationships, interesting book, although i´m starting to read this seems to be nothing bored. Very good. :techie-reference:

I don't feel like the book is exciting especially for the fact that it's all over. Thanks for taking time to review.

Sounds like a decent plot but you've really got to question the use of the SS acronym, especially when it's being applied to a crack team trying to change the world. Personally I couldn't care less but it shows a certain ignorance/blindness on the author's part (I'm assuming it wasn't done intentionally!) & that could overshadow a really great story :(

Great review. I recently read this novel and share similar critiques with you. I missed the grammar issues with her French dialogue since I don't speak it. Thank you for sharing.

A secret society agent from the future trying to cope with human backwardness sounds like a storyline I would enjoy. Nice review. Congrats to the author for making BOTD.

I enjoyed reading the sample of this book. I like the character of Jennifer in this story where she shows a strong character and she was also given a very challenging mission. Congrats on this great review.

I have already read this book, and posted my own review of it. I noted what you said about the French in the book. As I don't understand French I was using the kindle translation feature to find out what was said. Most of the time the translation didn't make sense. At the time I thought this was due to kindle translation working badly and didn't mention it in my review, so thanks for letting me know the problem was with the French. I shall be more inclined to use the translation feature again in the future.

As a follow on to this I hate the use of other languages in books and films. Yes I understand that people from different countries speak different languages. But very few people can speak all languages, and so they should always include a translation of the language for everyone to understand. Either in brackets or subtitles. Sorry for the rant but you hit a tender subject with me.

Thanks for the great review, I too enjoyed the book.

Sci-fi, time travel and graphic sex scenes definitely tell me this is not a book for me, however, I am interested in how a person would perceive us if they had gone back in time 9000 years to arrive at our current day society. Thanks for a comprehensive review.

Thanks for the review. Looking into the 30th century would definitely take some imagination. I would think some illustrations would help, but I would be confused with the French. I am glad that you had legitimate reasons for marking it 3 stars and not because of errors that could be corrected by editing.

I like books that makes me think harder. I hope the graphics are tolerable. But just reading the review makes me eager to read this just to find out what the author thinks about the future. Awesome job for the review, bro.

This looks like a really interesting book and I know, from reading previous books involving time travel, I would get missed up pretty quickly but giving it a go anyway

Very well written review! The cover caught my eye and I've been trying to decide whether to read it or not. From your review it sounds like it's not for me, but I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Fantastic review! After reading your review and the sample, I do not feel like this book is for me. With the grammatical errors and cartoonish pictures aside, the plot does not appeal to me. However, I am glad to read that you enjoyed it.
