New Releases by Alex Scarrow

Ne jouez pas avec le temps... Liam O''Connor aurait dû mourir en mer en 1912. Maddy Carter aurait dû mourir en avion en 2010. Sal Vikram aurait dû mourir dans un incendie en 2026. Mais à la dernière seconde, une mystérieuse agence les a sauvés pour les recruter. Désormais, ils sont des Time Riders. Leur mission : empêcher que les voyages dans le temps ne modifient le passé... et ne détruisent notre monde. La découverte d''un manuscrit codé va les plonger dans une époque troublée, celle du règne de Richard Coeur de Lion. Les Time Riders parviendront-ils à sauver le Royaume d''Angleterre ?

Une fois de plus le cours de l''histoire a dévié et les Time Riders vont devoir y remettre de l''ordre. Dans ce troisième opus, Liam, Maddy et Sal reçoivent un invité: Adam Lewis, un jeune programmateur de génie qui a réussi à décrypter un message à l''intention de nos amis. Il s''agit du célèbre manuscrit Voynich. Un manuscrit datant du 15e siècle, et qui n''a jamais pu être décrypté à ce jour. Liam et ses deux acolytes partent en mission dans l''Angleterre du Moyen Âge à la rencontre du roi Richard et son frère Jean. Les androïdes Bob ainsi que sa version féminine Beck sont également du voyage. Entre mystère du Voynich, chevalier des Templiers et quête du Graal, l''action et l''aventure seront de la partie. [SDM].

When a British computer hacker finds his name coded into a centuries-old manuscript, TimeRider Maddy recognizes it as the same message she had also been sent. Sure it must be communication from other TimeRiders agents, she sends Liam and the two support units back to Robin Hood''s time to search for the fabled document-possibly the Holy Grail. But as a war begins to brew between King Richard and his brother John, Liam unwittingly takes on the role of the Sheriff of Nottingham and discovers that the mythical Robin Hood may have been another support unit all along. This action-packed reimagining of the Robin Hood legend, weaving elements of religion, alternative history, and time-travel ethics perfect for fans of The DaVinci Code, is a page-turner old fans and new ones alike won''t want to miss.

1912. Locked in an eerily quiet dining room on the Titanic, a mysterious man tells a young girl his life story as the ship begins to sink. It all starts in Whitechapel, London in 1888... In the small hours of the night in a darkened Whitechapel alley, young Mary Kelly stumbles upon a man who has been seriously injured and is almost unconscious in the gutter. Mary - down on her luck and desperate to survive - steals his bag and runs off into the night. Two days later, an American gentleman wakes in a hospital bed with no memory of who he is or how he got there. He has suffered a serious head injury, and with no one to help him remember who he is he starts to wonder how he will ever find his way home. One terrible truth links these two lost souls in the dark world of Victorian London - a truth that could ruin the name of the most influential man in the land... Back in 1912, as the Titanic begins its final shuddering descent to the bottom of the frozen, black Atlantic, one man is about to reveal the truth behind a series of murders that have hung like a dark fog over London for more than two decades...the identity of Jack the Ripper.

Während Maddy und Sal versuchen, den Code zu entschlüsseln, begibt sich Liam auf die Suche nach dem Dieb. Und zieht dabei den Unmut des geheimnisvollen Ordens der Tempelritter auf sich ...

Er lebt in Norwich, zusammen mit seinem Sohn Jacob, seiner Ehefrau Frances und zwei sehr dicken Ratten.

Three teenagers have cheated death. Can they stop time travel from destroying the world?

The stunning new thriller from one of the fastest-growing stars of the genre. 2008: deep in the mountain forests of Wyoming, Julian Cooke stumbles across the rotting remains of a wooden wagon. He''s discovered what''s left of the Preston Group, a convoy of settlers that vanished in the winter of 1856. It''s clear that something horrific happened here all those years ago, but Cooke can only find a few tantalising clues. 1856: as early snows descend, the eclectic group of settlers that form the Preston wagon train are forced to dig in. Miles from any kind of civilisation, they see the group of Native Americans also trapped nearby as their greatest threat. But they soon realise what true danger is. When a woman is found murdered, one of the Indian party struggles wounded back to camp, whispering of unspeakable evil as he dies. United by fear, the settlers and the Indians must protect themselves against whatever is lurking in the woods. But as suspicion and panic grow, perhaps their own terror will be just as dangerous. Or maybe, whatever''s out there is worse than anything they can imagine. Back in the present day, as Cooke unravels the mystery, he must question if the horror he is uncovering was in fact only the start of something much worse...

Civilisation is gone. Where does humanity go from here...? The world lies devastated after the massive oil crisis that was described in LAST LIGHT.

Jenny Sutherland runs one of these groups. Based on a series of decaying offshore oil rigs - for safety - a few hundred people have rebuilt a semblance of normality in this otherwise dead world. But as Jenny and her people explore their surroundings once again, they start to realise not every survivor has the same vision of a better future than their catastrophic past. There are people out there who would take everything they have. War is coming, and the stakes are truly massive...
