Time Travel Fact: Guns are not the only, nor the most effective, means of erasing an enemy When Madison and Riley return from medieval England, there's good news and bad. The good? They succeeded in their mission to un-erase a fellow student. The bad? A stowaway from the time period turns up in Maddy's science class, seeking revenge. The medieval assassin tries to worm their way into Maddy's friend group and, with barbed comments and dirty tricks, force her out. Then they go further and kidnap Lauren, Maddy's best friend, jumping through time and space with her. Maddy and Riley learn that the pair have gone to the wild west of America where cowboys and buffalo roam the plains. So they chase them, through dusty towns and saloons, across landscapes of epic beauty and danger. There's a price on their heads and bounty hunters on their trail. Will Maddy find Lauren and escape the west? Or will she have to shoot it out with the assassin and watch the consequences cascade through the time continuum for 150 years? A high-stakes fast-paced time travel adventure in the Wild West.
If you're reading this, it may mean I don't exist any more. Time travel's like that. Here today, erased tomorrow. Madison Bryant, 16, is escaping an awkward romance when she leaps into her friend Riley's latest invention--a time machine--as it blasts off on its maiden voyage to Ancient Egypt. Setting down by the Nile in a swirl of sand, the pair plan to stay for a day or two and observe, not interact with anyone. But when a local girl invites them to her family home, they're drawn into village dramas and can't resist using knowledge from the future to help. An epidemic of dental troubles? Riley introduces toothpaste to the ancient culture. The vizier's teenage son drowning in a hippo-filled river? Maddy rescues him using life-saving techniques acquired on a Sydney beach. Sure, she's read time travel stories with those warnings about not changing the past in case it changes the future in unimaginable ways. But they don't apply to her. She's just an ordinary girl -- a mere speck of sand in the vast desert of time. And nothing she does could ever change the course of history. Could it? A high-stakes fast-paced adventure in mysterious Ancient Egypt.
If you're reading this, it may mean I'm in trouble. I am, Riley is...the whole world is in deep strife. With their friend missing and people throughout history falling through holes in the continuum, 17yo Madison and Riley must travel to the future to get to the bottom of who's at the top of the shadowy time travel organisation known as Recall. At the front of their mind is a question—how did Recall find out about time travel? Who told them? If they learn the answer, they'll need to undo that one moment, winding back the chain of events that led the world into an almighty mess. If they can't find that precise moment in time—the point of origin of all the trouble—and reverse it, the temporal walls separating one age from another might come down, leading to a terminal global event. Time travel's like that, you see. Here one day, utterly erased the next. The breathtaking series conclusion.
In 1887, Arthur Conan Doyle first published A Study in Scarlet in the 27th issue of Beeton's Christmas Annual, a popular London magazine which had entertained 19th century readers for well over two decades. Yet this particular issue would introduce the world to something entirely new, a literary icon who would move on to become the greatest fictional character in modern history. Holmes certainly casts a great shadow, and what would we ever do without him? That is precisely the question this collection dares to ask. We have challenged nine exciting Australian authors to take up the daunting task of writing a Sherlock story, where the great man himself is conspicuously absent. The resulting work has been utterly fascinating, and we have found that even in his absence Sherlock Holmes is still a force to be reckoned with. As the man himself would often say, "The game is afoot!

Time travel rule no.1 – No romance! After their Ancient Egyptian trip, 16-year-old Madison and Riley vowed never to time travel again. They'd set the world to rights—just—so that was that. Only back at school, not everything is right. A fellow student is missing. And he's not off sick or on holiday. No-one but Maddy and Riley even remembers his name. To get him back, they must travel to medieval England and repair his family timeline. They plan to enter the period, fix the problem and leave—quick and clean. But, as medieval intrigue swirls about them—with murders, a castle siege and a mysterious knight in black bent on revenge—new loyalties draw them into a web of danger. Weapons and armies can change the course of history but Maddy knows matters of the heart can warp the timeline too. She avoids flirty knights and nobles, but a relationship based on mutual antagonism seems safe enough—until the hostility ebbs away and a more dangerous emotion creeps in. They meant to tread lightly through time. Instead, they're leaving giant yeti-like footprints behind them, corrupting the time continuum and risking the future with those they love. A high-stakes fast-paced time travel adventure in medieval England.
