Synopsis

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?

About Jodi Taylor

LOSE TRACK OF TIME IN THE WORLD OF JODI TAYLORJodi Taylor is the internationally bestselling author of over twenty-five novels and more short stories that you can shake a stick at.Her Chronicles of St Mary's series follows 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 books. Set in the same world as St Mary's, this spinoff charts the highs and lows of an all-powerful, international organisation tasked with keeping the Timeline straight no matter what the cost. Efficient and disciplined, obviously they're nothing like St Mary's. Except when they are.In 2024, The Ballad of Smallhope and Pennyroyal accidentally grew from a short story to a full-length novel, revealing the origin story of two beloved characters who feature in both series.Jodi is also known for her gripping supernatural thrillers featuring the mysterious 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 book.

Goodreads review by Bradley

Oooooh kids... you gotta place nice or someone's gonna lose an eye or an arm. Play by Hoyle's Rules, at least! Oh gosh. I guess something went wrong. This book had a whole bunch of great time-travel locations, some of which I'd give an arm to visit, too. To see the Neanderthals and Modern Humans coex......more

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. The sixth instalment in the St Mary’s series finds our heroes hurtling through the Pleistocene period, the Valley of the Kings and a fiery encounter with Joan of Arc, among others.

Goodreads review by Robin

Again Max finds herself hurtled through time where everything that could go wrong does but in totally unexpected ways and this time she has students with her. St. Mary’s will never be the same if any of the students actually make it to graduation. “These days, people actually sought me out and as......more

Goodreads review by Trish

I wanted to finish the book last night but around 1:30am I fell asleep several times so I gave up. Probably not a bad thing because the last few chapters were not only exciting and tragic, the very end left me grinning from ear to ear. :D This book was one hell of a ride. Since St. Mary's loses so mu......more

Goodreads review by Vintage

Max is Chief Training officer and not very enthused about it or her trainees. Travels to see poor Joan of Arc burning, a visit to the Stone Age era, the subsequent baby mammoth escapade, and a little tragedy at the battle of Bosworth.......more
