Timeriders by Alex Scarrow
Apr. 16th, 2010 08:15 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
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.
Yet moments before death someone mysteriously appeared and said, “Take my hand ...”
But Liam, Maddy and Sal aren’t rescued. They are recruited by an agency that no one knows exists, with only one person – to fix broken history. Because time travel is here, and there are those who would go back in time and change the past.
That’s why the TIMERIDERS exist to protect us. To stop time travel from destroying the world ...
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
It’s an entertaining, fast-paced science fiction thriller. Don’t expect anything deep in terms of characterisation, but there are some nice background set-ups that promise good things in the future books.
