What Could Possibly Go Wrong?: Max is back! New husband, new job, and a training regime that cannot fail - to go wrong! Take one interim Chief Training Officer, add five recruits, mix with Joan of Arc, a baby mammoth, a duplicitous Father of History, a bombed rat, Stone Age hunters.

A Symphony of Echoes: Book Two in the madcap time-travel series based at the St Mary's Institute of Historical Research that seems to be everyone's cup of tea. In the second book in the Chronicles of St Mary's series, Max and the team visit Victorian London in search of Jack the Ripper, witness the murder of Archbishop Thomas a Becket in Canterbury Cathedral, and discover that dodos make a grockling noise when eating cucumber sandwiches.

A Trail Through Time: St Mary's is back and is facing a battle to survive in this, the fourth installment of the Chronicles. Max and Leon are re-united and looking forward to a peaceful lifetime together. But, sadly, they don't even make it to lunchtime.

A Second Chance: St Mary's is back and nothing is going right for Max. Once again, it's just one damned thing after another. The action jumps from an encounter with a mirror-stealing Isaac Newton to the bloody battlefield at Agincourt. Discover how a simple fact-finding assignment to witness the ancient and murderous cheese- rolling ceremony in Gloucester can result in CBC - concussion by cheese.

About the author

Jodi Taylor is the internationally bestselling author of the Chronicles of St Mary's series, the story of a bunch of disaster prone individuals who investigate major historical events in contemporary time. Do NOT call it time travel! She is also the author of the Time Police series - a St Mary's spinoff and gateway into the world of an all-powerful, international organisation who are NOTHING like St Mary's. Except, when they are.

Alongside these, Jodi is known for her gripping supernatural thrillers featuring Elizabeth Cage together with the enchanting Frogmorton Farm series - a fairy story for adults.

Born in Bristol and now living in Gloucester (facts both cities vigorously deny), she spent many years with her head somewhere else, much to the dismay of family, teachers and employers, before finally deciding to put all that daydreaming to good use and write a novel. Over twenty books later, she still has no idea what she wants to do when she grows up.

Reviews

[Leigh W]

Love this series - funny and interesting in that it has embedded historical elements - the good folks at St. Mary's are historians that travel back in time to observe historical events. They are not supposed to intervene as that could result in catastrophic changes to the future timelines but you know how plans go... Great characters that you end up caring about. This series keeps on going... well worth the effort to find at your local library or purchase (low cost at Amazon.com in kindle format).

Go ahead, escape the news and current events - slip back into the past... and laugh.

A fun story of time travel.

[Robin Killoran]

This series is clever and hilarious! The snarky humor, lovable characters, and unexpected plot twists -hard to find when you are a serious reader-- all make for entertaining and educational (hey, it's about "researching history in contemporary time"!) light reading. The audio-book version is very well read and captures the sassy personality of the main character / narrator perfectly.
