A Second Chance (The Chronicles of St. Mary's, #3)

by Jodi Taylor

‘We’ll be fine,’ I said, inaccurately.

‘Excellent idea, Professor.’ And it was. It just didn’t work.

Forget the tall, blond hero – he’s a cross-dressing psychopath. Achilles is the first warrior to wage total war. Not the traditional, familiar, ritualistic fighting of the time, but all-out-slaughter-everything-in-sight-in-a-berserker-rage war. Not that anyone ever complains – either because they’re happy to be on the winning side, or because they’re too dead.

All gods are the same. They’re big on the worshipping and the ceremonies and the imposing buildings, but when you really need them – they’re never there.

It’s never a good idea to start decimating your ancestors.

of course I know the whole world isn’t really out to get me. I’m pretty sure Switzerland is neutral.

We consistently underestimate the intelligence of everything that isn’t human.

When you’ve really screwed something up, the secret is to jump in with both feet and make it worse.
