Overview
The TimeRiders series by Alex Scarrow is one of the most beloved YA science fiction adventures of the last decade, and this five-book paperback set collects the saga's thrilling opening run: TimeRiders, Day of the Predator, The Doomsday Code, The Eternal War, and Gates of Rome. Three teenagers, saved from certain death, are recruited into a secret unit charged with protecting the timeline from catastrophic paradoxes. Across these novels they face dinosaurs loose in modern New York, Nazi conspiracies, apocalyptic hackers, and shifting ancient Rome. Fast, cinematic, and cliffhanger-driven, this collection suits readers who devour action, mystery, and high-concept sci-fi.

About the Books
Across five interlinked adventures, TimeRiders follows Liam, Maddy, and Sal, three teens saved from death and installed in a hidden unit tasked with guarding history from time-travel disaster. In TimeRiders, the team is assembled and thrown into a mission to stop a rogue time wave from erasing the modern world. Day of the Predator sends them chasing a stolen fragment of history that unleashes prehistoric predators onto the streets of New York City. The Doomsday Code follows a stolen medieval manuscript hiding a countdown buried in the past. The Eternal War drags the team into the chaos of the American Civil War, where forbidden knowledge threatens to unravel the timeline. Gates of Rome closes the set with the team stranded in the ancient empire, racing to repair history before Rome's fall is rewritten. Scarrow, a former adult thriller writer, brings propulsive pacing to every chapter, blending historical detail with breakneck plotting and payoffs across the run. Themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and time's fragility recur throughout, giving teen readers both adrenaline and substance.
