Publisher's summary

Jodi Taylor’s best-selling series The Chronicles of St Mary is back with a bang….

St. Mary’s has been rebuilt ,and it’s business as usual for the history department. But first there’s the little matter of a 17th-century ghost that only Mr. Markham can see. Not to mention the minor inconvenience of being trapped in the Great Fire of London…and an unfortunately timed comfort break at Thermopylae, leaving the fate of the Western world hanging in the balance.

Rejoin Max’s madcap journey through time in Jodi Taylor’s fifth interdimensional instalment No Time Like the Past.

Jodi Taylor, International Woman of Mystery, spent some time working undercover for North Yorkshire County Library Service. Heavily disguised as the world's most incompetent facilities manager, she shifted dead dogs, fell out of mobile libraries, and spent far too much time in the gents' toilets.

The idea to rewrite history first came to her while studying history A level at an evening class. Just One Damned Thing After Another is her first novel and was originally self-published as an e-book; it was downloaded by more than 60,000 readers on Amazon.

Spell bounding series.

The narration is spot on!

The story is historically accurate and, with astonishment, wildly entertaining!

A highly suggested way to waste massive amounts of time!

If Monty Python did time travel, the best

Where does No Time Like the Past rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

One of my all time favorite Audible and written books. I adore this whole series, even the short stories.

Who was your favorite character and why?

All of the characters are fabulous. Peterson and Malcolm are hilarious, but Max, of course, shines, as well. They are funny, brave, fallible and loyal. Just perfect characters, and the voice actress has their characters down pat.

Which scene was your favorite?

Honestly cannot pick a favorite scene because the book flows so well, and I am either tense with anticipation or laughing uproariously. They are all great scenes for one reason or another. Taylor has a gift, as does the reader.

Any additional comments?

This is the perfect fit between author and reader. Just perfect. I cannot think of a book series I have enjoyed MORE, and that is saying a lot.

Another fun and lively adventure

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I continue to enjoy this series. The first book was great, so was the second, and this fifth was another, every adventure being a new one. I look forward to starting book six right now.

Wildly Entertaining

This series is such fun! Max, Leon, Peterson, Markham and the rest are funny, witty, and great fun. Jodi Taylor's take on history is very entertaining. Zara Ramm is spot on in her narration. These books are a must read/listen!!!
