Summary
Introducing the Time Police, the brand-new series by international best-selling author Jodi Taylor - an irresistible spinoff from the much-loved Chronicles of St Mary's series. Perfect listening for fans of Doctor Who, Ben Aaronovitch and Jasper Fforde.
A long time ago in the future, the secret of time travel became known to all. Everyone seized the opportunity - and the world nearly ended. There will always be idiots who want to change history.
And so, the Time Police were formed. An all-powerful, international organisation tasked with keeping the timeline straight. At all costs.
Their success is legendary, and the Time Wars are over. But now the Time Police must fight to save a very different future - their own.
This is the story of Jane, Luke and Matthew - arguably the worst recruits in Time Police history. Or, very possibly, three young people who might just change everything.

Brilliant - Another Jodi Taylor Hit
Like many readers I was nervous about this new series based on the Time Police but it was fantastic. Zara Ramm narrated it with her usual panache and brought all the characters to life. Highly recommended.

Pretty average
Started OK but soon descended into very average young adult fiction and ended with too many new characters in a confusing story line

Life is hard
Jodie Taylor continues to tell a great story. I love the combination of old and new characters in 'Team Weird' and was delighted that St Mary's still makes an appear or 2 along the way.
Now I have to wait, with considerable impatience, for the next book - life is hard!

Dubious fears unfounded
This book should come with a health warning, it will absorb your soul and you will not be able to rest until it has been resolved. Absolutely fabulous, Jodi Taylor has done it again, the makings of another great series - was a little worried when I first heard the news that this was coming out, but, the worry, concern and sleepless nights were all unfounded, absolutely loved it and cannot wait for the next one. Listen to it, it will get you fixed!!!

Not of the same narrative standard as previous Jodi Taylor books
I was really disappointed with this. I have listened to all the other previous Chronicles of St Mary’s audiobooks and this just didn’t have a strong plot like the others. There were numerous narratives, it was difficult to get absorbed into it as a result.

Go team weird
I liked it. Not sure if I’ll stick with it, since they’re the natural enemies of St Mary’s. Rome and Carthage - and all that. After the whole Ronan betrayal thing, I’m not sure I can let go of the grudge and may have to say farewell to Matthew, the map and Ellis...

Loved it. When I read the blurb I thought it was going to be about Matthew Ellis but this was much more fun than I was expecting, written with the St Mary's humour and chaos and loved the nod to our old friends there. Brilliant, I can't wait for the next one.

Boring, baffling, lack of time travel.
Struggled to get through this at times, especially the whole rabbit chapter which was dreadful. When the high points kick in, you want more but then it just dies again and delves into the mundane parts of the characters lives, which is so boring to listen to.
About halfway through, the author must have run out of ideas, because the story takes a massive turn and it's as if you're reading a completely different story. Baffling.
I've never read any of the authors other books, and even though I absolutely love time travel(and this book has hardly any), I won't be reading anything else by this author.

loved it - Taylor and Ramm do it again!
Absolutely brilliant - if you love St Mary's Chronicles, you'll love this. The only problem is having to wait for the next one in the series

brilliant offshoot if St Mary's
Having come to St Mary's late and listened back to back to the series I was looking forward to this new chapter of the 'universe'.
I was not dissapointed. The story was well conceived and written and once again wonderfully read bringing the story to life.
Looking forward to another outing.
