Timeriders starting to lag

Liam O’Connor should have died at sea in 1912. Maddy Carter should have died on a plane in 2010. Sal Vikram should have died in a fire in 2026.

But all three have been given a second chance – to work for an agency that no one knows exists. Its purpose: to prevent time travel destroying history.

The Mayan Prophecy is the eighth book in the series and sees Maddy finally unlocking fragments of the secret that Becks has been holding on to.

As the TimeRiders start to piece together their true purpose, they race through time to connect the clues and the team discovers a Mayan tribe and an ancient relic provides a vital link to the past and future.

But not all of the TimeRiders can cope with the discovery, and one threatens to bring them all down if they can act out their revenge.

I have been enjoying this series, but it feels to me as if the books are just starting to lag.

The book starts of very promising, takes a massive dip quite soon, before picking up again here near the end.

It feels to me as if the majority of this book was written for no other purpose than to lengthen the book. If all the unnecessary parts (which I skimmed over without reading) are taken out, you might get a very interesting short story.

I’m sure those who have been following the series will be interested in reading The Mayan Prophecy, but don’t expect too much from it.
