The third 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 A Second Chance, it seems nothing can go right for Max and her fellow historians. The team confronts a mirror-stealing Isaac Newton and later witnesses how the ancient and bizarre cheese-rolling ceremony in Gloucester can result in CBC: Concussion By Cheese.Finally, Max makes her long-awaited jump to Bronze Age Troy, only for it to end in personal catastrophe. And just when it seems things couldnt get any worse, its back to the Cretaceous Period to confront an old enemy who has nothing to lose.Skyhorse Publishing, under our Night Shade and Talos imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of titles for readers interested in science fiction (space opera, time travel, hard SF, alien invasion, near-future dystopia), fantasy (grimdark, sword and sorcery, contemporary urban fantasy, steampunk, alternative history), and horror (zombies, vampires, and the occult and supernatural), and much more.
