And Now for Something Completely Different

A Chronicles of St Mary's Short Story, Book 9.7

De: Jodi Taylor

Narrado por: 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.

Here's a question for you. What's the most exciting thing ever found in a fire bucket? And don't say 'fire' because you'll be wrong.

Suppose - just suppose - it was the technology to take a pod to Mars? Yeah, now we're talking!

Every Christmas, for reasons which seem good at the time - especially after an eggnog or two - Max and the others leap into the nearest pod and indulge in their illegal Christmas jump. It's a tradition. This year, however, just to be different, they find themselves part of someone else's illegal Christmas jump. It's time to don a spacesuit and bring your own urine!

BEST SERIES EVER!!!

as always Jodi comes through with humor and adventure with a dose of drama. The problem is she can’t crank the books out fast enough. I wish I had never started these books so I could experience finding them for the first time again!

Love this series ♡

Love this short story
Love this series
Love this authors humor
Love the narrator who brings it all together!

Christmas Universal ;-)

I have to say that I LOVED Taylor’s comments at the beginning.
This year’s annual St Mary’s Christmas jump story has again had me laughing. Taylor’s written Christmas Past; Christmas Present; now she’s gone Universal;-). Commander Hay of the Time Police is the one with the headaches in this story where Director Pinkerton “Pinkie” takes some staff members, along with Maxwell and Peterson on the annual St Mary’s illegal Christmas jump - to Mars!?!
Ramm does a good job of narration.
Brava! Recommend.

Thank you, Jodi!

Another wonderful Christmas short with nothing to do with Christmas.Well, not really! But sort of. Love the new characters. And I'll never think of space exploration the same way again!

This was Absolutely hilarious!!!

I thoroughly recommend this short-story. This was Absolutely hilarious!!! The dialogue was “second none”!

Not Her Best but Still Pretty Good

The story seemed rushed and came off as a little weak. Not her best effort but still entertaining.

Another triumph for Jodi Taylor!

Don't even try to start this series with this installment! But if you are already a fan of St. Mary's, this one will not disappoint!

It's "Something Completely Different" because it focuses as the primary characters on some characters we've met before, and Our Heroes appear in important, but ultimately, secondary roles while still being completely true to character. It's also not really a "Christmas story" like so many of the shorts are, but trust me, nothing is lost in the process.

Like every other installment of the series, it's a romp. Taylor manages to keep the series fresh every single time.

Hilarious and creative

This was one of the funniest St Mary’s stories yet! Also LOVE the rare instances where we get a POV that *isn’t* Max.

Still Funny & Highly Entertaining

This series of books and short stories provide yours or laughter and comical entertainment. This little story is a quick, laugh filled tale of the St. Mary's gang once again wrecking havoc across time, this time on Mars as they drop in on the first Martian landing. What could go wrong? Everything!

The narration is, as always, outstanding. Ramm never fails to deliver a solid performance for each of the characters. She reads this series of books like an enthralling storyteller with great expression. Taylor once again delivers all the laughter and fun we've come to expect.

Well worth the read and a must have if you've been reading this series. The author neatly explains that this shprt tale relates to an incident briefly mentioned in another book, but this short read stands on its own.

Again and again

There is nothing here to dislike. I will listen again and again. Joyful giggles mixed with nods of serious agreement creating satisfactory entertainment and enjoyment of each precious chapter. Sadly, there aren’t enough of these books, please write many many more and thank you for those I’ve enjoyed. One reading, one audiobook is not enough and they must be shared.
