Product description

The Doomsday Code: the third book in Alex Scarrow’s exciting TimeRiders series

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 2029. Yet moments before death, someone mysteriously appeared and said, ‘Take my hand . . .’

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 . . .

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 . . .

Addictive!

The TimeRiders series is one of my guilty pleasures. It’s a brilliantly realised sci-fi adventure about three children saved from death and recruited into a top-secret time travel agency. As rogue time travellers change the course of history, Scarrow creates terrifying alternative New York Cities – imagine the Nazis had won WWII… It’s all told at a cracking pace, with tons of high adrenaline action and characters you really care about. Perfect for action and adventure fans of 10+ – and those much older!
