They say you shouldn't push your luck. Max gives her own luck a massive shove every day – and it's only a matter of time until luck pushes back...

January 1536 – the day of Henry VIII's infamous jousting accident. Historians from St Mary's are there in force, recording and documenting. And, arguing -obviously.

A chance meeting between Max and the Time Police leads to a plan of action. And, it's one that will have very serious consequences – especially for Max. His private life is already more than a little rocky. But with Leon recovering and Matthew safe in the future there will never be a better opportunity to bring down Clive Ronan, once and for all.

From Tudor England to the burning city of Persepolis - and from a medieval siege to a very nasty case of 19th century incarceration - Max is determined that this time, he will not escape.
