Doing Time | Jodi Taylor
15 posts | 11 read | 9 to read
Introducing The Time Police, the brand-new series by international bestselling author, Jodi Taylor - an irresistible spinoff from the much-loved Chronicles of St Mary's series. Perfect reading 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.

Well, that was fun. A bit of a romp, with mystery and hijinks, and very likeable characters. Lots of dimension, and easy to keep up even without reading the St Mary‘s books. Team Weird is a good time and a breath of fresh air.

Picked this up on a rec from a friend, and so far it promises a funny good time! Definitely entertaining lunchtime reading, and considerably more lighthearted than my last read…

julesG Aaaah, Team Weird on their first missions! 😂😂 1y

Such a great ‘new‘ series. I jumped into this one even without being up to date on The Chronicles of St. Mary‘s and it didn‘t disappoint. There were some light references to events that occurred before this spin-off but it didn‘t ruin anything IMO. Great new and old characters, a continuously moving storyline, surprisingly textbook conflict resolution. A great weekend read and my September #BookSpin selection. 5🌟

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 3y

Just my kind of humour.

Jodi Taylor is the Terry Pratchett of Sci-Fi, for me. I could, and certainly will, re-read the books several times.

First book in the Time Police series. A spin-off of the St Mary's series. You should read a few St Mary's books before reading this.

wanderinglynn I read the first St. Mary‘s. The others are on my TBR. Cleary I need to move them up the list! 3y
julesG @wanderinglynn Perfect readathon material. 3y
Caroline2 Ohh I am so moving the St Mary‘s book up my tbr list! 😀 3y
squirrelbrain They sound quite fun! 3y
julesG @Caroline2 @squirrelbrain - They are fun. I'm re-reading book 6 right now. 😁 3y

After a torture session with my physiotherapist (I might get her a leather outfit and a riding crop for Christmas), I'm kicking off the #20in4 #readathon.

I have four chapters left in the tagged #audiobook.

Some #Audiosewing happened.

A tee for my daughter, a yoga top for me. I tried to grin like a Jack-o-lantern.

TrishB Wow 😯 that‘s massively impressive!! 3y
AlaMich Are those fidget spinners on your top? 3y
julesG @AlaMich Yes, they are. It was less than half a yard of fabric. It could only be turned into a top. 3y

Happy New Year! I'm thinking Jane is fond of Creative Cursing in the Time Police Series.

I've been waiting on Audible for this 1st in new Time Police Series. Well worth the wait! Awesome narration. Good story with surprising twists. Snappy dialogue I've come to expect from Jodi Taylor.

Laura317 OMG! Want!! 5y
umbrellagirl @Laura317 Yes, you do. It lives up to the St Mary‘s series. I hope it doesn‘t mean we will be seeing less of those folks though. 5y

My library hold came in today. Must hurry and finish the current read. I hope the Time Police are as much fun as the folk at St Mary‘s. #wannabehistorian

Time travel is illegal, so they are tasked with stopping all amateurs and their home made machines, or big business with theirs…..they visit Mr Plimpton to stop lottery fraud, they visit Egypt to prevent a tomb raid and even to Rome….

There‘s murder, betrayal and the sometimes brutal old school Time Police slaughter. But can this misfit trio bring the changes needed, to show a little compassion and common sense?
