Overnight Taylor Amber's life is transformed when his parents die under mysterious circumstances and he becomes an orphan
in the Diggory Home for Children in Distress. Taylor eventually befriends another Diggory long-termer, a spiky misfit of a girl called Georgie Yates.
But soon afterwards Taylor discovers an incredible secret: his physicist parents had not been working at the local university as he had always assumed. They were in fact head scientists for a secret organisation called TARGET (Time Agency Response Group: Earthly Threats), and on the day of their deaths they were about to embark on the maiden flight in BULLSEYE, the world's first time machine.
With BULLSEYE at his disposal, Taylor quickly realises that he has the power to rescue his parents from their fate and bring them back from the dead. But unknown to Taylor and Georgie, there is a deadly menace that is about to threaten the entire world ...
taylor amber: time agent is a riveting, suspenseful time travel adventure; a bittersweet tale of a teenage boy-girl relationship;
a metaphysical thriller on the implications of messing with the fabric of spacetime, and a genuinely moving story of two young people's shared experience of loss. It is also at times, very funny, with a huge cast of richly imaginative characters from both ends of the time spectrum, from the deep past to a terrifying future ...
The novel crawls with suspicious agents, police, boffins - few of them being what they claim to be, and several sets of enemies.
In the scary worlds of Earth and Deep Space, the only person Taylor can trust is Georgie.
