Novel Of The Week*Time Riders : City of Shadows

Hi guys! This week's review is on the sixth installment of the Time Riders series.

TIME RIDERS : CITY OF SHADOWS

The book starts with the TimeRiders team on the run from assasin cyborgs from 

the future*believed to be sent by the creators of the TimeRiders* to remove and

completely destroy all time displacement technology*time travel* that they have.

This is because the current team, Liam, Sal and Maddy demanded several answers

from the creators such as 'Who is the creator?'*Yes, they never made contact with

the creator... Awkward isn't it?? haha.

The sixth book unfolds a lot more about the team, as the plot revealed that not only

Bob but the whole team is infact BioEngineered Humans. They were 'created' with

fake memories to make themselves believe they are actually human with a real past.

It shook the whole team and they ran from their headquarters in Brooklyn in search

for answers. It is revealed that the TimeRiders was created by Roald Waldstein, the

first ever time-traveller. Waldstein created the TimeRiders to preserve history until 

'Pandora'*The end of all humans in 2070* happens.

'Pandora' is where human kind became extinct*due to their own doing* where a very

dangerous bio-weapon created by North Korea accidentally lost control and wipe out

all of the humankind. Waldstein was trying to preserve this due to unknown reasons

and when the team finds out, they decided to do 'battle' against Waldstein and ran away.

The team moved into the past and made a new base in London 1888, where they

unconciously is the time when Jack The Ripper is rampaging.

A cyborg that managed to follow them back into the past made a time contamination

by saving Mary Kelly crushing Jack The Ripper's cranium, ultimately killing him thus 

revealing the identity of Jack who actually is an aristocrat and part of the  government. 

This created a big uproar and a very big time contamination happens as riots opposing

the government happens.

Response

I really liked this novel especially the part where they insert famous people such as

Mary Kelly and H.G Wells*The first writer ever to write about time travel. It gives me

the historical vibes haha xD. The writer also describe everything in the detail throughout

the whole novel. He encourages readers to use their imaginations to imagine all the events

and occurence in the novel. The plot twist is also very interesting as it is revealed that all of

them are actually BioEngineered Humans, since readers initially thought they were recruited 

from life endangering events* which went out to be fake memories installed by Waldstein.

Anyways, I would reccomend this book to everyone*especially sci-fi fans. The writer really

got me there with the plot twist haha :D
