Just One Damned Thing After Another (Chronicles of St. Mary's, Bk 1) (Large Print)
Just One Damned Thing After Another - Chronicles of St. Mary's, Bk 1 - Large Print Author:Jodi Taylor The first book in the bestselling British madcap time-travelling series, served with a dash of wit that seems to be everyone's cup of tea. The first thing you learn on the job at St. Mary’s is that one wrong move and history will fight back, sometimes in particularly nasty ways. But, as new recruit Madeleine Maxwell soon discover... more »s, it’s not only history they’re often fighting. From eleventh-century London to World War I, from the Cretaceous Period to the destruction of the Great Library at Alexandria, one thing is for sure: wherever the historians at St. Mary’s go, chaos is sure to follow in their wake.
"History is just one damned thing after another". -Arnold Toynbee.
Behind the seemingly innocuous facade of St. Mary’s Institute of Historical Research, a different kind of academic work is taking place. Just don’t call it "time travel" -- these historians "investigate major historical events in contemporary time". And they aren’t your harmless eccentrics either; a more accurate description, as they ricochet around history, might be unintentional disaster-magnets. The Chronicles of St. Mary’s tells the madcap adventures of Madeleine Maxwell and her compatriots: Director Bairstow, Leon "Chief" Farrell, Mr. Markham, and many more, as they travel through time, saving the St. Mary’s Institute (too often by the very seat of their pants) and thwarting time-travelling terrorists, all the while leaving plenty of time for tea.
