The Battersea Barricades

A Chronicles of St Mary's Short Story

By: Jodi Taylor

Narrated by: Zara Ramm

A Chronicles of St Mary's short story that is sure to entertain. If you love Jasper Fforde or Ben Aaronovitch, you won't be able to resist Jodi Taylor.

It's not easy being a rebel.
So many new skills to assimilate.
Never mind strategic planning, weapons expertise and the like - there's bicycle-stealing, oil-stain removal and boat steering to be mastered first.
And quickly.

It's the time of the Civil Uprisings and two young women set out to make a difference.
Their only problem?
They don't know where they are.
Or where they're going.
Or what to do when they get there.
Other than that ...

Fans of St Mary's will enjoy this glimpse into the past of some of their favourite characters.

Critic reviews

Takes readers on a carnival ride through laughter and tears with a bit of time travel thrown in for spice

A true page-turner

I've never seen time travel handled this way. I like it

[An] appealing cast of characters... [with] with plenty of humour, lots of action, and even a touch of romance

love to read ms. Taylor's books..can't get enough!

excellent story, loved the narrator too.
a very creative writer who developed stories that are fascinating.

Another worthy St Mary's backstory

We all wanted to know about the oft referenced Battersea Barricades. Great story and insight into a few of our favorite St. Mary's supporting cast of characters, and of course the brilliant narration of Zara Ramm.

Thank you, Jodi Taylor! Well done!!

From nearly the beginning of my journey with the happy historians of St Mary’s, there has been this lingering, unanswered question: Why is the battle of the Battersea Barricades so important to the back story. Now, Jodi Taylor has written, and Zara Ramm has brought to life, the answer.

And what a story it is! Crisply written in her wonderful style, so human and interesting, it adds to the humanity of the staff of St Mary’s. And Zara Ramm is so much the Max that we know and love from her narration that she is Max, at least to me.

I’m a combat veteran, a Marine, and this is so much like so many of our reunions that I was right their in the room with the gallant heroines of Battersea Bridge. Well done, indeed.

enjoyable
