Synopsis:
In 1993 British computer hacker Adam Lewis finds his name in a coded manuscript that is almost one thousand years old. How did Adam’s name get in there… and why?

Confronted by Adam in 2001, the TimeRiders travel back to Sherwood Forest in 1193 to discover the origins of the ancient message. But when a strange hooded man appears interested in the same thing, they begin to wonder what terrible threat this cryptic link from the past holds for the future…

In The Doomsday Code, Liam, Maddy, and Sal go out to solve another time mystery set in the 12th century after Sal notices a subtle difference in modern New York City. As they solve what caused the difference, they discover they also need to solve the an ancient message that Maddy has been told to look out for and discover what it means. If it means anything, it could mean there is more to the TimeRiders Agency than previously known.

The only reason I am continuing the series is because it is so darn good. I love seeing how Scarrow manipulates history when something different occurs in the past. It always plays into something truly unique, and you may even learn something about it along with it. Just be sure you’re learning the correct history, not the alternate history!

As much as I love the books, there is always a part of my that makes me wonder if I really do what to continue the series. Do not get me wrong, its an amazing story, but sometimes I do wish for things to be different. I feel like the next book will anyways as things are starting to change up. As I want to be interested in the story, I’m actually more interested in the charts at the end seeing how history has changed and what caused it. Hopefully the next book will be great! (I forced myself to buy it to read it…)
