TimeRiders Pack

TimeRiders #1-8

by Alex Scarrow

Fast and furious thrills from a series that has taken the book world by storm. Mess around with time and the world you know could become a world you don't! 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. But instead, they were saved. An instant before death, someone said "Take my hand..." Snatched from death by a mysterious agency that exists to fix broken history, the trio become TimeRiders: travelling through time to stop others from meddling with the past. Launched into death-defying adventures, they find themselves running from dinosaurs, battling ancient curses and coming face to face with Jack the Ripper. Will they be able to keep the future safe? This pack contains 8 paperbacks: Time Riders; Gates Of Rome; Mayan Prophecy; City of Shadows; The Doomsday Code; The Pirate Kings; Day Of The Predator; The Eternal War.

About the author

I live a nomadic existence with my wife Frances, and son Jacob. For now we're living in Norwich. I spent the first 10 years out of college in the music business chasing record deals and the next 12 years in the computer games business as a graphic artist and eventually a games designer. For those of you who like their computer games, here's some of the titles I've worked on:
Waterworld, Evolva, The Thing, Spartan, Gates of Troy, Legion Arena
Since signing up as an author with Orion, I seem to spend most of my time hunched over my laptop in various cafes and coffee bars sipping lattes, tapping keys and watching the ebb and flow of shoppers outside on the street. As I write this, I'm awaiting the launch of my next book - the sequel to , LAST LIGHT, and getting ready to find a publisher for the first book in a separate series, ELLIE QUIN. Ahead of me, lies research work for my next thriller, and also some screenplays I'm looking forward to writing. Although I'm glad to be where I am now, I do occasionally kick myself for not having succumbed to the writing bug much earlier. But then we all just muddle along through life, don't we? There's rarely a plan.

Reviews

[Elliott Smith]

I'm definitely too old for these but they're still good. There's enough of a story arc to make you want to keep reading. Plus who doesn't like time travel?

I am in middle school, and read these books from my teacher's library. I read them in the bes t order I could, because my teacher does not have all of them. I love this series; I gave it 3 stars because "The Gates of Rome" got kinda slow for me. I only read: Time Riders, The Doomsday Code, Gates of Rome, and am currently reading City of Shadows. This was the exact order I read them in. Other than this, I think this series has some really thoughtful aspects, especially about thinking about how our actions could affect our future. Overall, this is a delightful series for critical thinkers and history nerds ;p
With that, I wish you happy reading!!

One thing this book is, is absolute genius. You have to read till book 10 (the last 2 are missing from this set) to find out the truth - each book leaves more question's, only answered later on, making it addictive. It is also extreme intelligently made, with actual time travel conundrums being presented, explanations being given, and theories explained.

Events that they travel to are factually presented, equipment they use correct and the story flows. Little things, like Andrew writing cpp code and Maddy wearing an Intel t-shirt, all give the series a well researched feel
