My 2 cents

An excellent story. I couldn’t wait for the next chapter to come out. Thanks for your time and imagination.

Congratulations on a well written story. I will say I did enjoy this much more than Alien Mind control from Planet P and Bred by the Hive. They were more sex and horror it seems to me. I was glad to see a fully developed story in Journey to Year 1B with characters you could sympathize with. I really felt bad for Suki and Elizabeth.

Absolutely loved this book. Completely captivating from page one through the very end. Having read ten's of thousands of Science fiction books through the several decades of my life, this book like so many others often demonstrated incremental parity to phrases and even whole story lines of a few of the books I had read, though either expanded non or done with a slight twist achieving a different outcome. At times I was wondering if there might be a point where time would slip side wise as in Seize the Night, (Moonlight Bay) By Dean Koontz. Had it done so, this book could have been carried to a whole new realm of existence and become one of those nearly never ending stories like Mission Earth , L Ron Hubbard. To put it simply I enjoyed it I only hope some of my books I have been writing will turn out half as good as this one should I ever publish them. Thank you

I haven't commented before, but I've been eagerly pouncing upon each new chapter, and thoroughly enjoying the tale.

I think calling HG Wells retarded is slightly harsh, he was truly breaking new ground, without the following century and more of scfi generally and time-travel scifi in particular to inform his writing. "If I have seen far, it is because I am standing on the shoulders of giants", as Sir Isaac Newton put it.

Overall though, a thoroughly impressive book. As I was reading it, I did find myself reminded of some of the classics of scifi, Stranger In A Strange Land was the explicit parallel I picked up, the others more in feel than specifics. Scifi in its purest form asks 'what if?' and follows the ideas to their logical conclusion, exploring what might be possible and thus giving humanity a measure of forewarning and even possibly goals to strive toward. Journey To Year 1,000,000,000 certainly does that.

Some bits grated a little and whilst I appreciate the commentary about what you were trying to achieve and where your inspiration came from. When you call HW Wells retarded, it simply demonstrates your own lack of insight.

HG Wells had nobody and virtually no bodies of work to inspire him, possibly only Jules Verne. Whereas you've had thousands of books, TV series, Films etc to inspire you. He had basically nothing and quite likely without him and Jules Verne, most of the works that inspired you would not exist.

As such I think you may wish to reflect a little more around that comment.

An extraordinary piece.

The racism is a bit too ridiculous and petty, especially when the past 20 or so chapters was superb.

All in all A+

If you see racism in this story, just substitute the word "white" for "black" and you'll have no problem with it.
