Ever wondered how it all began? It's two years since the final victory at the Battersea Barricades. The fighting might be finished, but for Dr Bairstow, just now setting up St Mary's, the struggle is only beginning. How will he assemble his team? From where will his funding come? How can he overcome the massed ranks of the Society for the Protection of Historical Buildings? How do stolen furniture, a practical demonstration at the Stirrup Charge at Waterloo, students' alcohol-ridden urine, a widowed urban guerrilla, a young man wearing exciting knitwear, and four naked security guards all combine to become the St Mary's of the future?… (plus d'informations)

Set before the first novel in the series, the story probably won't be as enjoyable if you haven't read that novel (at least). Coming back to it after reading twelve of the novels, I found it delightful, and enjoyed meeting the seven "essential" characters (along with several other important ones, including the main character of the series) for the first time. Delightful! ( )

This is an excellent story about how St Mary‘s came about and how the “cast” joined it, with enough vagueness to set up future plots. The author narrated it herself and I thought it was perfect. @julesG I agree that this should be read after reading the second or third book, once you know the characters better. Officially it should be read after the first book. Such an extraordinarily fun series. ( )

A very nice little back story / fore story snack. ( )

Let’s hear it for origin stories, though in a time travel series, origin is a term of art. In this prequel to Just One Damned Thing After Another, we learn how Dr. Bairstow got his initial funding and chose St. Mary’s as his campus. If a member of your board is a Waterloo buff, well, you know, one trip in the pod and Bob’s your uncle. Prequel though it be, I would not read this one first. There are inevitable spoilers for later novels. ( )

A prequel to a series of books of the Chronicles of St Mary’s featuring a group of time-travelling historians, this one read by the author. It’s entertaining and an interesting idea, and perhaps adds to the series for invested readers, but I’ve not listened/read any of the other books and I’m not sure this made we want to start another series, particularly as it has mixed reviews. Still, I like the idea enough that if I had enough time, I’d try the first book, so I can’t truly recommend one way or the other. ( )

One of the most important events in the history of mankind — after the discovery of fire, the development of the wheel, and the invention of chocolate, of course — occurred in London on an overcast chilly rainy afternoon, and it is entirely typical that it should have been witnessed only by two bedraggled pigeons and a scrawny cat.
