St Mary's is back and is facing a battle to survive in this, the fourth installment of the Chronicles. Max and Leon are re-united and looking forward to a peaceful lifetime together. But, sadly, they don't even make it to lunchtime. The action races from 17th century London to Ancient Egypt and from Pompeii to 14th century Southwark as they're pursued up and down the timeline, playing a perilous game of hide and seek until they're finally forced to take refuge at St Mary's - where new dangers await them. As usual, there are plenty of moments of humor, but the final, desperate, Battle of St Mary's is in grim earnest. Overwhelmed and outnumbered and with the building crashing down around them, how can St Mary's possibly survive? So, make sure the tea's good and strong...
OH this was such a good volume int he series. I was unsure of where Taylor was going to go after the events of Book 3. Thankfully she found a way to stay true to the series but continue the adventure. I loved meeting all the characters once again. I enjoyed the side trips to the Frost Fair and Egypt and especially Pompeii. Max is such a great character, I'm glad we get yet another adventure starring her. This volume made me love the Director and Peterson even more. Such a great series!
