When that occurs, they must go back in time and fix it. Their job is to watch for timewaves and ripples evidence that something has happened to alter the past and so change the present. All three will live locked within a time bubble, lodged under an arch in New York City during the two days of 10 and 11 September 2001. But this is no normal life that they’re offered. The premise of the TimeRiders series is fantastic (with apologies for quoting myself from my overview of the series for My Favourite Books): ‘Three teens are given a choice in the seconds before their death – choose life and become a member of an agency so secret no-one knows its name or die for sure. I look forward to few books as much as these and I am so pleased, but not at all surprised, to find that the fifth TimeRiders novel, Gates of Rome, is quite possibly the best. It is no secret that I am a huge fan of Alex Scarrow, in particular his TimeRiders series, which might in theory be a Young Adult series but in reality is a series that is ageless in its appeal.
