30th Century Escape, a time-travel epic by Dr. Mark Kingston Levin, follows Captain Jennifer Hero as she deploys a group of Secret Society operatives on a mission to save humans from a race of genetically-altered super-humans called Syndos. Armed with the Trans-Time One time machine and a V7 virus engineered to make Syndos less aggressive, Captain Hero sends her SS troops back to the 27th century to cure the Syndos. As explosions threaten to destroy the time machine, Jennifer changes the settings and escapes to the 21st century. Why has Captain Hero abandoned her team?
Awareness returning in her escape pod, Jennifer finds herself on Moruroa Atoll in the South Pacific. Alone and stranded, she falls back on her military training to survive until the chance arrival of Professor Marty Zitonick and his crew on a marine biology research expedition. Marty and his students rescue Jennifer, and she returns with them to Tahiti and later Hawaii. One chance encounter and turn of fate after the other has Jennifer mistaken for a woman who has been missing for several years named Jennifer Hero. Jennifer assumes this woman’s identity and thus begins her new life in the 21st century.
