Timeriders the Mayan Prophecy Vol 8

I enjoyed the last book so much I had high hopes for this one, however, I was disappointed. Much time is spent talking about and trying to decipher hieroglyphs often going over the same facts several times throughout the book. Sal disappears and the team have to forget their initial aim and try to rescue her, which entails a trip into chaos space for Maddy.

Am I wrong but isn't Maddy asthmatic? I've noticed in the last few books that she's been engulfed in smoke and encountering all sort of strong smells and musty atmosphere's and although the author has her catching her breath she never takes an inhaler. That's just a little aside and doesn't particularly effect the plot.

I found myself skim reading some of it in the hopes of reaching a more exciting part and finally it came. The last fifth is very exciting and worth the long wait. If the whole book had been this eventful I would not have been able to put it down.

I can't say much more without ruining the plot but my summary would be - starts with promise, disappointing in the middle, exciting ending.

I read all the series except this one

As always. A great read and loved the story line

Great book - # 8 in the series!

FUN SERIES !

I'm still reading the book...but so far is awesome...I cannot wait for book #9!!!

I have only read the first two in the series and loved them. I have cued the rest up for future reading as they are being published. Alex Scarrow's style in this series is perfect for young readers and even for us 'not so young'.
