"H.G. wells for our time: 3000 Years by
Richard Mgrdchian is an excellent sci fi; and its much more. Many
Sci fi books, movies, etc.,(or even series) are futuristic moral
plays, and this book does take that track, but goes beyond that; it
is a social and political commentary on our own time and well as a
social and political commentary (and prediction) of our future 50
years from now in 2055..." — Amazon Reviewer
"Intriguing as it gets: Once i started
reading this 3000 years, i didn't put it down until it was finished.
i found myself becoming completely involved in the concept of time
travel. mgredechian did an excellent job at eliciting some of the
emotions and wonder of what an experience it would be to travel into
the future and the implications of leaving everything
behind..." — Amazon Reviewer
"Beautiful first effort: These are days for
fans of true hard science fiction to rejoice. Debut author Richard
Mgrdechian comes out swinging with 3000 Years, a novel in the vein
of Michael Crichton in which hard science and modern day theory is
implemented to tell the tale of a professor who discovers a means of
bending the speed of light to travel into the future without
aging..." — Amazon Reviewer
"A Real Eye-Opener: I thought there was
something very intriguing about this book. It was certainly a good
story, and very original and exciting in its plot, but what stood
out the most was the sense of reality surrounding the world
Mgrdechian created..." — Amazon Reviewer
"A Worthy Challenge: One really has to hand
it to Richard Mgredechian for the creative vision he showcases in
3000 Years. I'm sure a lot of imaginative people will be impressed
by the futuristic world he envisions. I bet there won't be anyone
wishing to move to Mojave anytime soon. A serious amount of effort
had to have been put into the plot as it is extremely intricate, and
unpredictable..." — Amazon Reviewer
