About this listen

Introducing The Time Police, a series by international bestselling author, Jodi Taylor - an irresistible spinoff from the much-loved Chronicles of St Mary's series. Perfect for fans of Doctor Who, Terry Pratchett and Jasper Fforde.

'The best way to describe this book: lots of fun' British Fantasy Society

'Inventive and entertaining... a fast-paced and fun first book in what promises to be an excellent new series' Culturefly

A long time ago in the future, the secret of time travel became known to all. Unsurprisingly, the world nearly ended. There will always be idiots who want to change history.

Enter the Time Police. An all-powerful, international organisation tasked with keeping the timeline straight. At all costs.

Their success is legendary. The Time Wars are over. But now they must fight to save a very different future - their own.

This is the story of Jane, Luke and Matthew - the worst recruits in Time Police history. Or, very possibly, three young people who might change everything.

Great characters, great story and pure fantasy escapism. Loved every minute and devoured it in only two listens. Off to start the next in the series. A unique style and has no need to compared to others. An outstanding listen

I’ve not long discovered Jodi Taylor’s work, but I fully intend to read/listen to anything & everything she has written, I read this book first, which then lead me to listen to a couple of Chronicles of St Mary’s as they are ‘linked’ ish & all probably are in the whole series, kind of. But the handful I’ve so far read/listened to are truly excellent pieces of fiction, if. Your a fan of comedy/science fiction, such as Douglas Adam’s, Ben Aranovich, Terry Pratchet et al then you will love these books, I have every intention of working my way through her entire catalogue & Im so so glad that I stumbled across her work, truly excellent pieces of fiction & I can’t wait to binge on the full series of TTP and CoSM over the next 6-12 months. Excellent work iMP. 😜

Brilliant Book, the whole series is in fact excellent IMO.

I was a little dubious about listening to a spinoff series, since I loved the Chronicles of St Mary's series so much; in fact, I was bereft when I finished the last one... However, I left it a while before making the decision to start the Time Police series, and I am now thoroughly enjoying them! I absolutely recommend this title; Jodi Taylor's writing is like slipping under a comfortable duvet, and Zara Ramm (as always) does a stellar job of narrating.

Fantastic spinoff series.

really enjoyed the spin off, brand new characters, a few you will know if you have ever read/listen to set Mary's chronicles (a few guest appearance).
it's written well to easy you in, you get an introduction to each character via their own chapter which I liked.
I would highly recommend if you like time travel (because here are the time police it is time travel) a bit if comedy and if you don't like knowing what's coming next

what a spin off

The subject matter didn't really interest me but due to the positive reviews I thought I would give it a go. very glad I did! Really well written and narrated with good characters and an interesting and fun story.

Not my usual type of story

Initially I thought this was a children’s book but grew into it. I’m either a child at heart or there is something more to the superficial story. Left me wanting to see how the characters progress.

I want to follow the characters.

Was doubtful as a great fan of St Marys but was not disappointed. Good story and tbe narrator is key to a great listen. Already preordered the next book.

Another brilliant series. Great Characters
