No time like the past: the chronicles of st. mary's book five - jodi taylor

The fifth book in the bestselling British madcap time-travelling series, served with a dash of wit that seems to be everyones cup of tea.

Behind the seemingly innocuous facade of St.

Marys Institute of Historical Research, a different kind of academic work is taking place.

Just dont call it time travel--these historians investigate major historical events in contemporary time.

And they arent your harmless eccentrics either; a more accurate description, as they ricochet around history, might be unintentional disaster-magnets.

The Chronicles of St.

Marys tells the chaotic adventures of Madeleine Maxwell and her compatriots--Director Bairstow, Leon Chief Farrell, Mr.

Markham, and many more--as they travel through time, saving St.

Marys (too often by the very seat of their pants) and thwarting time-travelling terrorists, all the while leaving plenty of time for tea.

In No Time Like the Past , St.

Marys has been rebuilt, and its nearly back to business as usual for the history department.

Except for the visit to St.

Pauls Cathedral with a seventeenth-century ghost that only Mr.

Markham can see.

And getting trapped in the Great Fire of London.

And an unfortunately-timed vacation at Thermopylae that leaves the fate of the western world hanging in the balance.

Actually, that sounds quite like business as usual for Max and the gang.
