A SYMPHONY OF ECHOES: THE CHRONICLES OF ST. MARY’S BOOK TWO
Book ID/图书代码： 00111016B97452
English Summary/英文概要： Behind the seemingly innocuous facade of St. Mary’s Institute of Historical Research, a different kind of academic work is taking place. Just don’t call it “time travel”—these historians “investigate major historical events in contemporary time.” And they aren’t your harmless eccentrics either; a more accurate description, as they ricochet around history, might be unintentional disaster-magnets.
The Chronicles of St. Mary’s tells the chaotic adventures of Madeleine Maxwell and her compatriots—Director Bairstow, Leon “Chief” Farrell, Mr. Markham, and many more—as they travel through time, saving St. Mary’s (too often by the very seat of their pants) and thwarting time-travelling terrorists, all the while leaving plenty of time for tea.
In the sequel to Just One Damned Thing After Another, Max and company visit Victorian London in search of Jack the Ripper, witness the murder of Archbishop Thomas Becket in Canterbury Cathedral, and discover that dodos make a grockling noise when eating cucumber sandwiches. But they must also confront an enemy intent on destroying St. Mary’s—an enemy willing, if necessary, to destroy history itself to do it.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这本疯狂的时间穿越之行，源于人们在茶余饭后，看似对圣玛丽学院历史研究的不经意之举。
在‘圣玛丽编年史’系列的第二部中，麦克斯和他的团队造访了维多利亚时代的伦敦，寻找那个臭名昭著的开膛手杰克，坎特伯雷大教堂的总主教托马斯•贝克特的遇刺，以及在吃黄瓜三明治时，发现渡渡鸟（古代巨鸟）发出著名的噪声。
但他们必须面对一个敌人试图想要破坏圣玛丽的意愿，如果必要的话，破坏历史也在所不惜。（Sandy）
Awards/获奖情况：A carnival ride through laughter and tears with a bit of time travel thrown in for spice . . . readers will be impatient for later installments ----Publisher’s Weekly, starred review
Danger, romance, history, financial and academic politics, hidden agendas, dangerous assignments, characters you care about, and the feeling that more is going on than you’re actually reading about. I can hardly wait for book two. Just One Damned Thing After Another is a true page-turner. ----SF Revu
Taylor does a great job of setting up an appealing cast of characters in this new series opener, most especially the intrepid Max. There is plenty of humor, lots of action, and even a touch of romance. ----Library Journal
