Timeriders: by Alex Scarrow
"Liam O'Connor should have died on the Titanic in 1912."
"Maddy Carter should have died on a plane in 2010."
"Saleena Vikram should have died in a fire in 2029."
This is the starting of every book in the Timerider series. As you can guess from the title, these series are about Time Travel. I think these series are amazing, and though they might not seem that scary at the beginning, the different paths that history takes when its broken, leaves us feeling pretty creeped out. The most gruesome of events due to pure human greed, even the smallest change in the timeline, causes the greatest of differences in the future.
Yet, moments before their death, someone appeared before them and said 'Take my hand...,'
Liam, Maddy and Sal wake up, alive, in a room in 2001 on the 10th of September; a Monday.
The man who saved them, or rather, gave them a different choice, is named Foster. Foster informs them that they were recruited by an agency that nobody knows of. The sole purpose of this agency is to fix broken history and to make sure that things happen the way they should.
Foster starts their training: Maddy as the computer expert, Sal as the Observer (who observes their surroundings to see if there is a change in history, or a 'time-ripple') and Liam, the Operator (who travels back in time to fix history). They also create a support unit, also known as a meat robot- which has a small organic brain, a normal human body, but computer codes in its head- called Bob.
Their first project happens when Paul Kramer, a brilliant physicist from 2066, goes back in time and plans to alter the past- to lead the Nazis to victory over the Allied forces and to ensure an ordered world under his rule. Liam and Bob are sent back in time to fix the past while Maddy and Sal again encounter a time ripple: an apocalyptic wasteland with few remaining mutant savage descendants from humans.
In the meantime, Maddy and Sal cannot bring back Liam, who is stuck in the past. The story also covers Kramer's story, and why he does certain things, and how he does them.
All in all, I think the Time Riders is a great series and is great for teenagers:
