Hope For The Best by Jodi Taylor
Jul. 29th, 2019 11:12 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
You can’t change History. History doesn’t like it. There are always consequences.
Max is no stranger to taking matters into her own hands. Especially when she’s had A Brilliant Idea. Yes, it will mean breaking a few rules, but – as Max always says – they’re not her rules.
Seconded to the Time Police to join in the hunt for the renegade Clive Ronan, Max is a long way from St Mary’s. But life in the future does have its plus points – although not for long.
A problem with the Time Map reveals chaos in the 16th century and the wrong Tudor queen on the throne. History has gone rogue, there’s a St Mary’s team right in the firing line and Max must step up.
You know what they say. Hope for the best. But plan for the worst.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
The 10th in Jodi Taylor’s THE CHRONICLES OF ST MARY’S SERIES is a fast-paced, cosy SF novel with lots of no-nonsense Britishness, plenty of time travel and intrigue and laced with wry humour and while I hadn’t read the previous 9 books, I had little difficulty in following this and will check out the earlier books.
HOPE FOR THE BEST was released in the United Kingdom on 25th April 2019. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
