Kondome schützen! Wie Sie mit ihnen auch schwer bewaffnete Truppen abwehren, erfahren Sie im vierten Roman um die Zeitreisende Madeleine "Max" Maxwell. Madeleine "Max" Maxwell freut sich auf ein friedvolles Leben an der Seite ihres geliebten Leon. Leider hält der Frieden nicht mal bis zum Mittagessen... Die Zeitpolizei taucht auf, um Max für ein Verbrechen zu verhaften, das sie nicht begangen hat – zumindest nicht in diesem Universum.

Nicht einmal die Möglichkeit, durch die Zeit zu reisen, bewahrt Madeleine "Max" Maxwell vor Déjà-vus. Und so rennt sie schon wieder um ihr Leben – diesmal verfolgt von Jack the Ripper. Es wird nicht das letzte Mal sein. Ihre Mission führt sie über die hängenden Gärten von Ninive und den Mord an Thomas Becket bis zu einer außerplanmäßigen Dodo-Rettungsmission.

A long time ago in the future, the secret of time travel became known to all. Unsurprisingly, the world nearly ended. There will always be idiots who want to change history. Enter the Time Police. An all-powerful, international organisation tasked with keeping the timeline straight. At all costs. Their success is legendary. The Time Wars are over. But now they must fight to save a very different future - their own. This is the story of Jane, Luke and Matthew - the worst recruits in Time Police history. Or, very possibly, three young people who might change everything.

Jodi Taylor’s best-selling series The Chronicles of St. Mary is back with a bang…St. Mary’s has been rebuilt, and it’s business as usual for the history department. But first there’s the little matter of a 17th-century ghost that only Mr. Markham can see. Not to mention the minor inconvenience of being trapped in the Great Fire of London…and an unfortunately timed comfort break at Thermopylae, leaving the fate of the Western world hanging in the balance.

Life is good for Team Weird, now heroes and fully fledged Time Police officers. Luke can't wait to bear arms. Jane has a date. And Matthew still hasn't had his hair cut. But Time waits for no one, and neither do criminal masterminds. A major threat to the Timeline is looming, one far deadlier than mere idiots who want to change history. And when a familiar face becomes a Very Important Lead, will conflicting family loyalties spell trouble for Team Weird?

Getting a life isn't always easy. And hanging on to it is even harder.... Jodi Taylor brings all her comic writing skills to this heartwarming tale of self-discovery. Known as The Nothing Girl because of her severe stutter and chronically low self-confidence, Jenny Dove is only just prevented from ending it all by the sudden appearance of Thomas, a mystical golden horse only she can see. Under his guidance Jenny unexpectedly acquires a husband - the charming and chaotic Russell Checkland.

Betrayed, terrified and alone, Elizabeth Cage has fled her home. With no plan and no friends, she arrives at the picturesque village of Greyston and finds herself involved in an ages-old ceremony that will end in death. And that might be the least of her problems - the Sorensen Institute would very much like to know her whereabouts. And Michael Jones is still out there, somewhere, she hopes. No matter how far and how fast she can run, trouble will always find Elizabeth Cage.

The Time Police do not have problems. They have challenges. Idiots who want to change history have always proved 'challenging'. But now temporal tourism is on the rise - highly illegal but highly lucrative. If you're prepared to take the risk. To face down this threat the Time Police will despatch their toughest undercover agents. Which is fine until the unthinkable happens. Replacements are needed fast, and who better than three young officers who don't even look the part?

Follow the disaster magnets of St Mary's as they hurtle around history! The ninth book in The Chronicles of St Mary's Series collects the best-selling short stories in audio for the first time.

Madeleine „Max“ Maxwell wollte Archäologin werden, um Abenteuer zu erleben, unfassbare Entdeckungen zu machen und gelegentlich die Welt zu retten. Doch die Wirklichkeit holt sie ein: Archäologen verbringen ihre Zeit in Museen zwischen staubigen Büchern und noch staubigeren Fundstücken, die niemanden interessieren. Da erhält sie ein besonderes Jobangebot. Wenn sie die Zusatzausbildung übersteht – und die wenigsten tun das – wird sie Abenteuer erleben, die jene von Indiana Jones wie einen Sonntagsspaziergang aussehen lassen. Und wenn sie überlebt, wird sie wenigstens ein paar Mal die Welt retten.

Join them as they settle scores, break every rule in the book and take the world by storm.
