Reseña del editor:

Time travel meets history in this explosive, bestselling adventure series. At St Mary’s Institute of Historical Research, the historians don’t just study the past, they revisit it. Behind the strait-laced façade of a conventional academic institution, the secret of time travel is being used for ground-breaking and daring historical research taking the historians on a rollercoaster ride through history: from the destruction of Pompeii to the Normandy trenches; from the Great Fire of London to Bronze Age Troy and even to the time of the dinosaurs... Meanwhile, within at St Mary’s itself, there are power struggles and intrigues worthy of a book in themselves. In Book One, we follow new recruit Max as she rides the catastrophe curve from eleventh-century London to the First World War, and from the Cretaceous Period to the destruction of the Great Library at Alexandria. For wherever Historians go, chaos is sure to follow in their wake ... “A carnival ride through laughter and tears with a bit of time travel thrown in for spice . . . readers will be impatient for later installments.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review “Taylor does a great job of setting up an appealing cast of characters in this new series opener, most especially the intrepid Max. There is plenty of humor, lots of action, and even a touch of romance.” —Library Journal “Taylor has written a madcap and very funny hodgepodge of a novel whose pacing and humor is reminiscent of a Simon Pegg–Edgar Wright film.” —Booklist “Danger, romance, history, financial and academic politics, hidden agendas, dangerous assignments, characters you care about, and the feeling that more is going on than you're actually reading about. I can hardly wait for book two. Just One Damned Thing After Another is a true page-turner.” —SFRevu. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
