TimeRiders: The Doomsday Code (Book 3)

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of TimeRiders: The Doomsday Code, the third book in the TimeRiders series, read by Trevor White.

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 2026.

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 . . .

A thriller full of spectacular effects

Malorie Blackman is already a bestseller and The Stuff of Nightmares can only add to her fame . . . This book seems bound to be extremely popular

Blackman reaches reluctant readers like few others

Malorie Blackman is one of the most versatile and forthright of all authors for young adults. She has brought us an ambitious panorama of broken societies and depicted motive and action in searingly effective ways . . . This is a remarkable book, powerful, fearful

—— Dennis Hamley , Carousel

It is an intelligent, original and compelling novel

—— Simon Treacy , Cork Evening Echo

Mini Grey's extra details and clues in her artwork are always so entertaining and hopefully this is just the beginning for this charming and astute mouse and his detecting friend Emily.

—— The Guardian

It's full of hilarious tiny details, which our sharp-eyed hero - and clever parents and children - can spot to solve the mysteries.

—— The Oxford Times

This is picture book storytelling at its best. Text and illustration perfectly integrated so that the eye moves easily across the page and the attention is held. Every page is carefully designed allowing different perspectives, creating excitement and movement through the juxtaposition of whole page and split page spreads as well as techniques adopted from graphic novel or film. There are not enough picture books that can reach older children. This is one - and it is a delight.

—— Books for Keeps

This is an utterly delightful book, packed with quirky text and illustrations and reall unusual.

—— Parents in Touch

How can you not want to read this book over and over again? How can you not want to share it with everyone you meet?

Mini Grey is as skilful as ever as she unravels a complex, tragic and very funny story through action-packed illustrations, captions and speech bubbles.
