Summary

 The sixth book in the bestselling Chronicles of St Mary's series which follows a group of tea-soaked disaster magnets as they hurtle their way around History. If you love Jasper Fforde or Ben Aaronovitch, you won't be able to resist Jodi Taylor.

What if the course of history was on your shoulders?

'To do what I do - go where I go - see what I see - it's a wonderful, unique, never-to-be-taken-for-granted privilege.'

With great privilege comes great responsibility, something Max knows only too well, and as newly appointed Chief Training Officer at the St Mary's Institute of Historical Research, it's up to her to drum this guiding principle into her five new recruits.

With a training programme that includes Joan of Arc, an illegal mammoth, a duplicitous Father of History, a bombed rat, Stone Age hunters and Dick the Turd, the question everyone is asking themselves is - what could possibly go wrong?

Takes readers on a carnival ride through laughter and tears with a bit of time travel thrown in for spice
A true page-turner
I've never seen time travel handled this way. I like it
[An] appealing cast of characters... [with] with plenty of humour, lots of action, and even a touch of romance

I simply love this series. I can't fault it - in parts: amusing, intriguing, presumably accurate in the history (I'm shamefully ignorant in that department, so I wouldn't know), coherent, and entertaining.

I recommend this series to everyone, but do suggest you start at the beginning to benefit from all the little quips and references along the way.

And the narrator is perfect again.

Excellent as Always

I agree that it is full of mayhem and mistakes are made, so that people die but this is fantasy. I love the drama, humour, stories and especially the narrator, Zara is just so perfect for the role.

Love it!

One of the new trainees, a Mr Hoyle, speaks exactly my own thoughts of the unprofessional approach of the history department. Max ofcourse sees red and won't take it in. But truthfully they are not the right people for this time travelling job, or at least they all need way more training, structure and discipline. Because without it, people are dying all the time. So many lives lost due to stupid errors. I don't know how Max still has a job. The story is compelling with powerful action and emotion. Yet is let down by the lack of expertise shown by the time travellers. In real life St Mary's would have been shutdown for dangerous incompetence. It's all fun and games until you lose a key staff member every jump.

Nice to hear my qualms about the series addressed.
