Novel Of The Week*Time Riders : Gates of Rome

The first novel I'm going to write a review on is the fifth installment of the Time Riders series.

TIME RIDERS : GATES OF ROME


The book revolves around a group of three TimeRiders who 'take care' of time and remove any time contamination done towards history*kind of Time Police haha...
As for the 5th Installment, a group of people from the year 2070+ returned to the Rome Empire during the reign of Caligula to change history in the hope of getting a better future for mankind.

This group came from a time where the world is ending, where after a series of wars*which included nuclear attacks, poison attacks, etc* mankind is finally facing extinction after a 
bio-virus made in Korea breakout when Korea's scientists loses control of it.

The world is dying and mankind is getting wiped out of the surface of the Earth. They then planned to return to the past*Caligula's reign* Where these people hope to change history n thus changing the inevitable fate of mankind.

The TimeRiders then noticed a change in history where Caligula's reign which should only lasted for about 4 years, extended to a long 17 years time. They sent a team to check it out and their findings were surprising! Rome was in peril, starvation and death is everywhere.

*to readers I suggest you take up this series because it is really fun hehe XD.
*to Miss Jo, since this novel plays around with time, I'm confused either to use past or present tense hha... sorry..

So as for my assignment,
3 Interesting Words
1.Flex
To bend, as a part of the body
Any flexible, insulated electric chord
He flexed his arms to show his muscles.
A pile of loops of electrical flex.

2.Dapple
Spotted
To mark with spots
A dapple horse.

3.Muster
To assemble(troops, a ship crew etc.)as for battle
To gather
Commander mustered all the soldiers they had left.
He mustered all his courage to tell the truth.

Response
One lesson I learnt from this novel is we should never mess around with time. Whether its
the present or the future, we must appreciate all the time we have and fill it with beneficial
activities. We must not delay our work and assignment so that we could send everything on
time and avoid being DeMeritt. I believe if everyone in the world actually fill their time with
beneficial activities instead of procastinating, the World would be truly a better place. Live our
life to the fullest :).
