Enter the first Steam Pump! Ever....

Or was it a steam cannon?

A steam cannon is a cannon that launches a projectile using only heat and water, or using a ready supply of high-pressure steam from a boiler. The first steam cannon was designed by Archimedes during the Siege of Syracuse. Leonardo Da Vinci was also known to have designed one (the Architonnerre). [see Wikipedia]

According to our St Mary’s Chronicles, they wanted to look for a steam pump but its actions was more like a steam cannon, in my mind.. either way, it was a fun thing to go and look at, or so Markham thought.

This is more unusual storyline form Jodi Taylor as it is written from Markham’s viewpoint and in his voice.

I really loved Lingoss’ explanation of why her hair was blue – as someone whose hair is purple and some people have failed to mention it, or apparently notice until it is pointed out to them! i do wonder who the teacher was she talks about. I’m sure that they will be mentioned in future stories as we have a lot of characters at St Mary’s we still know little about and how they came to be there.

After all, History has many years of exploration that can be taken.

So yes, the best laid plans of mice and men, especially when Markham is involved, don’t always work as intended.

A great addition to the series.

Just what is History's Truth?

When I found out that some more books had continued – what I had thought was the end of – the Chronicles of St Mary’s, I immediately bought them.

This is one of my favourite series as I love history – and even took it for A levels. and here much of what you read in the story is historically very accurate, you just have a number of people involved in these events by accident through time travel. Or as St Mary’s prefers to call it – viewing history in contemporary time.

Stories about Alexander The Great are many – he did so much in such a very short time, and thus must have been an amazing person, and I can quite see why anyone would want to go and see him for themselves. And to see one of the fabled cities of the Old World before destruction and a fabled Library too…

But as always things don’t go according to plan for Max and her compatriots. And Jodi Taylor’s imagination is let loose on just what can go wrong when a city is burning, and there are lots of drunken people about, and soldiers celebrating a win, and…

Note to author: please explain more about Roman manages to keep his pod working and even gets more bought and people paid.

Great fun and good suspense. Well written stories.

Off to see what really happened

I love this series – which is not about time travel – not at all – it is all about viewing events in contemporaneous time. which means using a pod to travel to certain co-ordinates in time and space and tying to find out what really happened.

The problem for St Mary’s – the ‘academic’ institute which houses the historians that undertake this – is that something tends to go wrong. Regularly!  Hence the need to have them accompanied at all times by Security guys and to have a fully functioning hospital ward or 2.

I spend most of these books giggling. Snorting. and with tears running done my face from the hilarious escapades. Especially, when they get bored and decide to recreate (the R&D dept) events. Like Cleopatra and the carpet. Or various war machines , or…

Max, the heroine, is relentlessly practical. Once things have gone awry. Her reports are a work of Art. And then we have the Muse of History popping up to ensure that this timeline remains the same – even though there have been time wars.

So these books are well written. Humorous. Full of real (researched) history and some quite unbelievable happenstances that add a certain panache to the stories.

REVIEW The Development - Jackie Kabler 🌟🌟🌟🌟 I was lucky enough to receive this book from @accentpressbooks in exchange of a fair review. The story follows Cora Baxter a TV journalist who witnesses a tragedy on her way home one night, she then sets out to investigate the incident and all is not as it seems. This is the third instalment of the Cora Baxter Mystery series. I have not had the chance to read the previous novels, but this did not stop my from enjoying this book immensely. The mystery was cleverly plotted and I did not manage to guess the culprit until the big reveal. The characters are well developed and I liked Cora and was rooting for her throughout. The only negative I have is that sometimes the dialogue was slightly jarring, the conversations between characters did not seem particularly natural. An altogether good read, which made me want to go back and read the other books in the series...something else to add to my TBR pile! #bookblog #bookstagram #bookworm #booknerd #reading #kindle #bookish #reader #bibliophile #booksofinstagram #whatiread #whatkatiereadnext #booklove #books #book #bookrecommendations #instaread #bookscapes #unitedbookstagram #mybookfeatures #bookreview #accentpress #thedevelopment
