Book Overview

The first book in the USA Today bestselling British madcap time-travelling series, served with a dash of wit that seems to be everyone's cup of tea. "History is just one damned thing after another." --Arnold Toynbee Behind the seemingly innocuous facade of St. Mary's Institute of Historical Research, a different kind of academic work is taking place. Just don't call it "time travel"--these historians "investigate major historical events in contemporary time." And they aren't your harmless eccentrics either; a more accurate description, as they ricochet around history, might be unintentional disaster-magnets. The first thing you learn on the job at St. Mary's is that one wrong move and history will fight back--sometimes in particularly nasty ways. But, as new recruit Madeleine Maxwell soon discovers, it's not only history they're often fighting. The Chronicles of St. Mary's tells the chaotic adventures of Max and her compatriots--Director Bairstow, Chief Leon Farrell, Mr. Markham, and many more--as they travel through time, saving St. Mary's (too often by the very seat of their pants) and thwarting time-travelling terrorists, all the while leaving plenty of time for tea. From eleventh-century London to World War I, from the Cretaceous Period to the destruction of the Great Library at Alexandria, one thing is for sure: wherever the historians at St. Mary's go, chaos is sure to follow in their wake. Skyhorse Publishing, under our Night Shade and Talos imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of titles for readers interested in science fiction (space opera, time travel, hard SF, alien invasion, near-future dystopia), fantasy (grimdark, sword and sorcery, contemporary urban fantasy, steampunk, alternative history), and horror (zombies, vampires, and the occult and supernatural), and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller, a national bestseller, or a Hugo or Nebula award-winner, we are committed to publishing quality books from a diverse group of authors.

Where has this book been?!

Honestly, I can’t believe I never knew about this book until now. This is truly the kind of book you can’t stop talking about… cause I can’t LOL. Max, the main character, is a very independent, witty woman who’s used to thinking outside of the box & bending the rules. But that’s the exact type of person St. Mary’s needs! It’s a fast paced but yet keep-you-on-your-toes book. Think about a historic event that you wish you were there for? To have seen it for your own eyes? This book is the closest thing to getting you there! I promise you won’t wanna put it down.

Wonderfully unique time travel!

I had never read this author's books until recently and she is great! Absolutely love this series...wonderfully unique time travel! I read the first one on my Kindle, then ordered the full set as "books" because I needed them. I've given the first book as gifts to people I know will love them, too.

Jodi Taylor Rocks!

Terrific start to a great series. Lots of laughs! If you enjoy British humor you will enjoy these Historians bouncing around the timeline witnessing major historical events! Disaster magnets drinking tea wherever they go! Some heartbreak!
