Liam O'Connor, Maddy Carter, and Sal Vikram all should have died. But instead, they have been given a second chance-to work for an agency that no one knows exists. The TimeRiders' mission: to prevent time travel from destroying history-and the future. . . . When Maddy mistakenly opens a time window where and when she shouldn't, Liam is marooned sixty-five million years in the past, in the hunting ground of a deadly, and until now undiscovered, species of prehistoric predator. Can Liam make contact with Maddy and Sal before he's hunted down by dinosaurs, and without changing history so much that the world is overtaken by a terrifying new reality? The second book in the thrilling TimeRiders series is just as fast-paced, intelligent, and mind-bending as the first.

Maddy and Liam travel back to San Francisco hours before the Great Earthquake to retrieve a batch of clone fetuses the agency has stored there to replace the ones lost in the power outage from the ...
Day of the Predator was...good but not as good as the first TimeRiders novel. It had action but it didn't have the same kick to it as the other novel. However it looks like the next two books pick up that action again...Now to discuss briefly my thoughts on time travel.I have come up with the belief...
Whilst I enjoyed book number one, this one really took the cake.The improvement on Scarrow's writing is impressive. It certainly makes the book easier to read without having to wince over little mistakes. I devoured Day of the Predator in a day (my friends were grumpy because I wanted to read, not p...
