The sixth book in the bestselling Chronicles of St Mary''s series which follows a group of tea-soaked disaster magnets as they hurtle their way around History. If you love Jasper Fforde or Ben Aaronovitch, you won''t be able to resist Jodi Taylor.
What if the course of history was on your shoulders?
''To do what I do - go where I go - see what I see - it''s a wonderful, unique, never-to-be-taken-for-granted privilege.''
With great privilege comes great responsibility, something Max knows only too well, and as newly appointed Chief Training Officer at the St Mary''s Institute of Historical Research, it''s up to her to drum this guiding principle into her five new recruits.
With a training programme that includes Joan of Arc, an illegal mammoth, a duplicitous Father of History, a bombed rat, Stone Age hunters and Dick the Turd, the question everyone is asking themselves is - what could possibly go wrong?
