A Chronicles of St Mary’s short story that is sure to entertain. If you love Jasper Fforde or Ben Aaronovitch, you won’t be able to resist Jodi Taylor.
Here’s a question for you. What’s the most exciting thing ever found in a fire bucket? And don’t say ‘fire’ because you’ll be wrong.
Suppose – just suppose – it was the technology to take a pod to Mars? Yeah, now we’re talking!
Every Christmas, for reasons which seem good at the time – especially after an eggnog or two – Max and the others leap into the nearest pod and indulge in their illegal Christmas jump. It’s a tradition. This year, however, just to be different, they find themselves part of someone else’s illegal Christmas jump. It’s time to don a spacesuit and bring your own urine!
Readers love Jodi Taylor:
‘Once in a while, I discover an author who changes everything… Jodi Taylor and her protagonista Madeleine “Max” Maxwell have seduced me’
‘A great mix of British proper-ness and humour with a large dollop of historical fun‘
‘Addictive. I wish St Mary’s was real and I was a part of it’
‘Jodi Taylor has an imagination that gets me completely hooked‘
‘A tour de force’
