About this ebook

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 2029.
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 purpose - 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 . . .

Ratings and reviews

I downloaded these to my I phone for my daughter to read, but think there's only me thats read them. I'm 39 and have enjoyed them all.

This book is supposed to be aimed at the younger reader but I think it holds its own across all age groups.

Really gripping and interesting but also the second most gruesome book I have ever read!
