Review:
This is the third book in what is quickly becoming the hit Timeriders series, never a fan of young Adult fiction but always an admitted fan of Alex Scarrows work i approached the first book in two minds, would i feel obligated to like it, would it be too fluffy for an adult, would the language talk down to kids etc..
There was never that problem with the first book, the second or this fantastic third in the series so far.
Each book in the series truly gets better than the last, the plot lines cleverer, the characters more depth, and the emotional connection with the reader stronger.
I as an adult love these books, I have bought them for my son, my nephews and my god children all of whom love the series, and i will probably put a set away for my granddaughter for when she is old enough.
These books are for me a set of books with a story that can be read and reread with characters any age can relate to. The best part of this series is that there is so much potential it could run and run forever, when you mess with time you can mess with history and the results truly fun. I for one would be quite happy to see this series run forever with its current quality. (Parm)

first of all
This book DESERVES 4.5 stars!
we've all heard of Robin hood and admired him but we keep forgetting that he is a myth and it is possible that he did not do all he was said to have done and this book explores that fact and what would have happened if king john had been killed .
liam is becoming a strong and wise young man and becks and bob provide a lot of laughs in very difficult circumstances.
sal on the other hand is becoming a side character and sometimesyou forget that she's actually there,which i find a little dissapointing.
maddy is becoming a leader and is finally given the importance that is due to her in this novel(according to me)
adam lewis on the other hand is a welcome addition .He makes this story unique in his own way
