Time Riders: Gates of Rome

Time Riders: Gates of Rome - Alex Scarrow

This series never stops getting better! This is the book in the middle or so in the series that unlocks a lot of secrets, leaving mystery and suspense in the air, this makes you really want to read the next books so that you can find out the secrets for yourself.. This means that there could be a lot more Time Riders novels published, hooray! Going back to this particular installment though: If you have ever heard of or read any of Simon Scarrow's books (Alex's Brother) then you're in for a surprise, as Simon's books are about ancient Rome, Gladiators etc. (NOTE: They are adult books but the Time Riders are Teen Fiction) Alex has included some of the characters! This makes the book quite interesting!
