Book Description

Publication Date: 2 Feb 2012 | Series: TimeRiders

Liam O'Connor should have died at sea in 1912.

Maddy Carter should have died on a plane in 2010.

Sal Vikram should have died in a fire in 2026.

But all three have been given a second chance - to work for an agency that no one knows exists.

Its purpose: to prevent time travel destroying history . . .

Project Exodus - a mission to transport 300 Americans from 2070 to 54AD to overthrow the Roman Empire - has gone catastrophically wrong. Half have arrived seventeen years earlier, during the reign of Caligula.

Liam goes to investigate, but when Maddy and Sal attempt to flee a kill-squad sent to hunt down their field office, all of the TimeRiders become trapped in the Roman past.

Armed with knowledge of the future, Caligula is now more powerful than ever. But with the office unmanned - and under threat - how will the TimeRiders make it back to 2001 and put history right?

** Book five in the bestselling TimeRiders series by Alex Scarrow.

** Ancient Rome gets a time-travel makeover!

** TimeRiders (Book 1) won the Red House Book Award older readers category, and was Penguin UK's first ever number one on the iBookstore.

A thriller full of spectacular effects (Guardian)

About the Author

Alex Scarrow used to be a rock guitarist, then he became a graphic artist, then he decided to be a computer games designer. Finally, he grew up and became an author. He has written a number of successful thrillers and several screenplays, but it's YA fiction that has allowed him to really have fun with the ideas and concepts he was playing around with designing games.

He lives in Norwich with his son, Jacob, his wife, Frances, and his Jack Russell, Max.

5.0 out of 5 stars fantastic Sci-fi adventure that captures the imagination 31 Jan 2012
By Parm TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
I have been a loyal follower of Alex Scarrows TimeRiders since book 1, and have also followed his adult thrillers since the very first one, I have seen his writing grow and grow along with his ability as a story teller.

The TimeRiders series in my opinion is his master piece, his ability to see into the mind of the young adults that the book is mainly targeted at is a skill that should not be ignored. This book does not talk down to them, it does not try to be hip or have pretencions above what it is, which is a fantastic Sci-fi adventure that captures the imagination.

This series IMHO is better written and better executed that the recent spate of Dr Who stories to hit the TV, and given the popularity of these books the BBC should be taking a serious look at Mr Scarrow for some screen writing, Dr Who needs a shot in the arm, a dose of something new and TimeRiders style exciting.

Book 5 of TimeRiders takes us further into the tale of our TimeRiding Team with a tale set back in Ancient Rome as a reviewer you cant expand on what, why and what happens without major spoilers, but as per every previous book, there are revelations a plenty and shocks galore, add in the fantastical working of Alex's mind, the intricate workings of the Time waves and then throw in 2 very old favourites borrowed from his brother Simon Scarrow (and the great Eagles series) who BTW Alex wrote so well i wondered for a bit if Simon Ghost wrote them (I'm reliably informed he didn't), and you have the best book in the series so far... the only worry for me..How the hell is book 6 going to top this book?

VERY VERY Highly Recommended

5.0 out of 5 stars He does it again!! 6 April 2013
By R. Hart
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Just when I thought it might be getting formulaic but good even so he changes what you're expecting. I no longer read the reviews of the next book as they tend to give a clue as to what happens in the previous book. Although targeted at teens it is just as good for someone older and father to a teenager.
