An unusual book
for AS because he normally writes thrillers, but this is number one of a series
so there are going to be more on this subject, which involves travelling
backwards and forwards in time.
The story starts
with a young Irish steward being rescued from the sinking Titanic. He is just
about to drown in the ship when he is rescued by a mysterious Mr Foster and
finds himself transported on to 2001 in America.
A young girl is
similarly rescued from a plane which is about to crash and then another girl
joins the team of Timeriders who are given the job of ensuring that history
runs true.
They work from a
small room under the railway arches of the overhead railway in New York where they have their time machine. The story gets all very
strange because someone else has gone back into history and changed the normal
run of events so that Hitler did not lose the second world war but was replaced
by Kramer who took over the Nazi leadership and beat the British and the
Americans and created a Greater Reich which controlled Europe, UK and the USA.
The Timeriders
team are tasked with the job of sorting things out and putting history back as
it was.
