It is about a historical research centre whose historians travel back in time to learn about important events that have happened in the past.The story begins with the main character Dr. Maxwell arriving at St. Mary's. At first, she is trained for the job, which, she discovers, is not a regular office job. In fact, she learns how to fight, shoot, treat injuries and survive in the wild. At the same time, she has to study ancient languages and make friends. Actually, making friends is quite easy, because she and her colleagues have a lot in common - they're all into history, have an easy-going attitude towards life and wouldn't change working for St. Mary's for anything.Dr Maxwell also meets a co-worker whom she falls deeply in love with. She has never dreamt of meeting a man who would love her for who she is (among other things, she's quite a disaster-manget really).Anyway, Dr. Maxwell discovers that her new job as a historian is far from being dull and safe. She and her mates constantly find themselves in danger, which they usually manage to escape, quite barely though, and sometimes people don't come back from these assingments.The series of St Mary's is a fascinating read for everyone, because they offer so much - adventure, thrill, history, comedy, tradegy, romance, you name it. Just open one of these books and you might find yourself reading it from start to finish within a day or two.
