Timeriders Gates of Rome Book 5

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Although it was funny, it was thought provoking as well. A small part of the truth behind the "agency" that Liam, Maddy, and Sal work for is revealed in the prologue, and it just left me wanting more. The chapters ended with either reveals, or cliffhangers. This made me want to keep reading the book.Overall, I recommend this book to anyone interested in Science Fiction, particularly anyone that likes time travel, since this series features it heavily. I'm eagerly waiting for the next book in the series!

My son was so excited to get this book. It looked brand new and came in perfect condition. He loves this series. It took a little longer than most to receive but was well worth it and not much longer.

Got to admit I'm hooked on Alex Scarrow's "Time Riders" series and am reading them all. Easy read, well-written, and intelligent plots. By the way, although these books were written for young readers, this old guy digs them. Bring 'em on Alex!!!

This wad a gift for my wife and she lived it.

A good cross over with his brother, easy style and narrative. Following on in the series the time riders have to travel to Ancient Rome to end the reign of Caligula, and save themselves from killer meat bots. Escapism at its best.

For those who are reading the Timeriders series this will satisfy your craving.Everything is here, excitement, the old gang, and of course, a trip back into another time.

I'm not that into Rome but seriously this book was amazing. Alex, you have impressed me once again!

Great Books!

This is the 5th book in the series, Maddy, Sal & Liam are taken from their time lines at the point of death and recruited by a man known as Foster to help prevent anyone going back in time and changing history, two clones helped, comp Bob was an original clone damaged with his mind downloaded into a computer, in the year 2070 the world faced nuclear war, project Exodus was to send 300 people back in time with modern transport and a number of clones to start againThey arrived Rome AD54 but should have arrived AD37, 150 people and all the children didn't make it, in 2001 a time wave was noticed and Liam and Bob the clone went back to AD54 to mend it, back in 2001 the girls are attacked by soldiers and clones, they quickly jump through to where Liam was, Caligula thinks he is a god, Cato wants to overthrow Cagligula, Caliggula had items left from the original visitor 17yrs earlier, he had Rashid in a cage away from the clones who now obeyed Ceaser, the clones rose up and killled all the time travelers in Rome, Rashim was kept in a cageCaligula rules with the clones as his protectors, many Romans remembered the original visitors so offer to help Liam, Maddie, Sal & Bob in correcting time, this would prove to be there hardest task yetBest so far in the series

My son really likes this series - and I'm encouraging him to read more long novels - so I bought him this book (and the others in the series). I also bought the physical book, to get him used to reading from something other than a screen.I bought a used copy - and the condition etc was fine.Be aware that the Timeriders stories are quite violent, with a very high 'body count' and lost of grisly deaths - but most 'childrens novels' are these days.As stories go, its an interesting enough time travel sci fi tale, and the kids seen to enjoy it. Because its time travel it does require a bit more thought than the average novel to follow the story, which is particularly good if you're trying to use the reading to increase concentration and comprehension.

Alex you've done it again you've made a perfect book that's great for all people!I would suggest 10+ ages on reading because of quite violent scenes but apart from that its great for all ages, it ticks all the boxesFunnyCreativeAnd full of tension 👏

Part of the series. I totally recommend this author, and indeed the whole Timeriders series (the last book of which was published last year). Alex Scarrow has other super books out there too. Never heard of him? Why not?? Give him a try. I am a great-grandmother so he doesn't just appeal to children.

Just when I thought it might be getting formulaic but good even so he changes what you're expecting. I no longer read the reviews of the next book as they tend to give a clue as to what happens in the previous book. Although targeted at teens it is just as good for someone older and father to a teenager.
