Beskrivning

'One of my favourite books of all time' CHARLAINE HARRIS'Jodi Taylor is quite simply the Queen of Time. Her books are a swashbuckling joyride through History' C. K. MCDONNELL'Time travel, history and romance - what more could you ask for?' ⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐⭐ reader review--They say that History is just one damned thing after another. Welcome to St Mary's Institute of Historical Research - where damned things happen every day.When Dr Madeleine 'Max' Maxwell is recruited by St Mary's, she finds their methods to be somewhat unorthodox. They don't just study the past - they actually visit it, carefully observing historical events as they unfold in real time. And not dying. This last part is important. The whole of History now lies before Max and her new colleagues, but, as she will discover, time travel is never straightforward. Because History doesn't like to be messed with, and danger lurks in every century...Fast-paced, witty and delightfully unconventional, Just One Damned Thing After Another is the first in Jodi Taylor's beloved and bestselling Chronicles of St Mary's series. For fans of Terry Pratchett, Doctor Who, Genevieve Cogman and Ghosts. Readers love Jodi Taylor: 'Once in a while, I discover an author who changes everything... Jodi Taylor and her protagonista Madeleine "Max" Maxwell have seduced me' ⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐⭐'Addictive. I wish St Mary's was real and I was a part of it' ⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐⭐'Science fiction, historical fantasy, love story and more all wrapped up in a fast-paced comedy of errors. Please don't wait to read it, you don't know what you are missing' ⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐⭐'Jodi Taylor has an imagination that gets me completely hooked' ⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐⭐'A tour de force' ⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐⭐

Mer om författaren

LOSE TRACK OF TIME IN THE WORLD OF JODI TAYLORJodi Taylor is the internationally bestselling author of over thirty novels and more short stories than you can shake a stick at. Her Chronicles of St Mary's series follows a bunch of disaster-prone individuals who investigate major historical events in contemporary time. Do NOT call it time travel! She is also the author of the Time Police books. Set in the same world as St Mary's, this spinoff charts the highs and lows of an all-powerful, international organisation tasked with keeping the Timeline straight no matter what the cost. Efficient and disciplined, obviously they're nothing like St Mary's. Except when they are. And when a short story set in the same world accidentally grew into a full-length novel, the Smallhope & Pennyroyal series was born, following the adventures of two unlikely partners in crime.Jodi is also known for her gripping supernatural thrillers featuring the mysterious Elizabeth Cage together with the enchanting Frogmorton Farm series - a fairy story for adults. Born in Bristol and now living in Gloucester (facts both cities vigorously deny), she spent many years with her head somewhere else, much to the dismay of family, teachers and employers, before finally deciding to put all that daydreaming to good use and write a book. And then another twenty nine after that. And she hasn't finished yet.

3/5

3/5
Underhållande, men inte Connie Willis nivå
Upplägget i boken påminner väldigt mycket om Connie Willis serie av klassiker om tidsresande historiker i Cambridge (t ex "Doomsday Book"), men kommer inte upp i samma höga nivå som de böckerna. Det här är en underhållande och händelsespäckad bok som kan vara bra som avkoppling, men inte mer. Det händer oväntade saker på i stort sett varje sida, och det blir lite för mycket i min smak.
