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. Here is my brief synopsis of the premise from my tribute to TimeRiders on 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. The reasons for this are simple: brilliant plotting, fine writing, an utterly intriguing premise and a bunch of teens that you cannot help but fall in love with. The bookshops may put the books on the shelves for teens or younger readers but make no mistake – Alex Scarrow’s TimeRiders series is ageless in its appeal and is scifi at its best. What a series! TimeRiders is without doubt my favourite series of novels.
