#timeriders

I’m re-reading Timeriders (amazing series if you haven’t read it) and I wanted to find the fandom, but there’s barely any.  Half the posts under the Tomeriders tag is just people going “is there anyone here?”  It’s like discovering a ruin filled with “x person was here” on the walls.  I mean the first book came out more than 10 years ago but still?  I’d expected something.  

TimeRiders, by Alex Scarrow, is a YA time-travel series about a trio of teenagers who are enlisted, just moments from death, to function as an underground adhoc agency of time police (essentially).

Maddy Carter - from the year 2010 - is an eighteen-year old techie. She’s in charge of the logistics, as well as being the leader of these out-of-time teenagers.  Liam O’Connor was swept from the belly of the Titanic in 1912, just moments before the ship snapped and submerged. He is the sixteen-year-old field operative, whose job it is to go back in time to fix anomalies. He is often accompanied by the part-computer, part-man leviathan, Bob.  And Sal Vikram - from 2026 - is a thirteen-year-old girl from Mumbai, enlisted to be the team’s observer. Sal is responsible for watching out for any major or minor shifts in reality - anything that may signal a change in history.  These three live together and operate from an archway field-office in New York, 2001. From there, they work to ensure time goes as it should. This means fighting with post-nuclear cannibals, Romans, surprisingly intelligent lizards, Genomes, Men with Guns, and... Abraham Lincoln?

(Personally, Abe Lincoln is my favourite side character). 

And, of course, who doesn’t love a little ‘things are not what they seem’ conspiracy?

That's it
