Book Review: TimeRiders - The Doomsday Code

Plot: 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 2026.
But all three have been given a second chance - to work for an agency that no one knows exists. It's purpose: to prevent time travel from destroying history...
In 1994 British computer hacker Adam Lewis finds his name in a coded manuscript that is almost one thousand years old. How did Adam's name get in there... and why?
Confronted by Adam in 2001, the TimeRiders travel back to Sherwood forest in 1194 to discover the origins of the ancient message. But when a strange hooded man appears to be interested in the same thing, they begin to wonder what terrible threat this cryptic link from the past holds for the future...

Review: TimeRiders just keeps getting better and better! The storylines get more and more intense and, although I sometimes find the 6-month-action a tad slow going, the mystery and intrigue more than make up for it. Scarrow is really playing the "working for an unknown agency" theme up for this one!
A thread that's finally resolved: we finally find out about Pandora, well sort of. Becks develops her human-like behaivour traits and Liam just keeps ageing (mentally as well of physically) which he also manages to guess by the end of the book.
And the story ends with another agency-based cliffhanger - the last of which was resolved at the start of this book. It seems the series just can't get enough of them.

A definate read, 4.5 stars.

Happy reading,
