Perfect for you if...

You love time-travel stories where the chaos is as much about human error and personality clashes as it is about the actual temporal mechanics.
You want humour that lands hard alongside genuine peril. This book swings from laugh-out-loud to gasp-in-horror without whiplash.
You're already invested in Jodi Taylor's universe or you've loved Doctor Who's irreverent tone mixed with proper stakes.

Maybe not for you if...

You need standalone books. This is book 6 in the Time Police series and the ensemble cast carries weight from previous stories.
You prefer gritty, grimdark science fiction. Taylor's world is clever and tense, but it's fundamentally optimistic and playful.
You find British humour too dry or you need constant external action rather than character-driven tension and banter.

About this book

Out of Time is the sixth book in the Time Police series. The Time Police typically travel to the past without hesitation, but this time the past has come to them. A dead dinosaur in Wales, Romulus the founder of Rome, a plot to murder the Princes in the Tower, and a mysterious cover-up at TPHQ are all connected in ways that are not immediately obvious. The Time Police work to uncover the answers with help from a member of St Mary's and Team 236, racing against time to succeed. Meanwhile, something in the Timeline has gone wrong. The Time Map is sending a message that the Time Police must decipher before time runs out.
