About this listen
The third book in the best-selling Chronicles of St Mary's series which follows a group of tea-soaked disaster magnets as they hurtle their way around History. If you love Jasper Fforde or Ben Aaronovitch, you won't be able to resist Jodi Taylor.
History happens all around you. And, occasionally, to you.
I could have been a bomb-disposal expert, or a volunteer for the Mars mission, or a firefighter, something safe and sensible. But, no, I had to be an historian.
It began well. A successful assignment to 17th century Cambridge to meet Isaac Newton, and another to witness the historic events at The Gates of Grief. So far so good.
But then came the long-awaited jump to the Trojan War that changed everything. And for Max, nothing will ever be the same again.
With the bloody Battle of Agincourt playing out around her, Max risks everything on one last desperate gamble to save a life and learns the true meaning of a second chance.

Critic reviews
They've been a fun first three books to the series - light-hearted and jovial in tone (even if it's in the middle of the an epic historical battle) and exactly right to cleanse the listening palate after something more gritty.
A cliff-hanger ending, so straight onto book 4.
Narration exactly same as previous books in the series - perfectly reflects Max's attitude.
Another chaotic, but fun outing

Any additional comments?
I'm romping through this series and can only say that the writing, storyline and narration is simply getting better and better. Nothing else is getting a look in, I'm onto book 4 and already have book 5 lined up. I will feel bereft when that's over and will need the new book as soon as it's released!What a wonderful joy it is to find something I don't have to say "good, but" about and only have to enjoy.
This story is thoroughly engrossing and interesting, the writing is engaging and highly amusing often. The characters are well defined now and the narrator brings it all to life beautifully.
Loving this series of books!!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Oh definitely, extremely well written and narrated. The research must have been immense but so realistically done you could have been there!!What did you like best about this story?
Everything!What does Zara Ramm bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Oh she is superb! Extremely well characterised and I love the way she interpreted how each character should be played. Well done Zara I will certainly look for more books read by you.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When Leon went to rescue Max the first time he had met her.Any additional comments?
Loved every minute of these books and will definitely read them again and look for more by the same author.This is an amazing series!
