The Chronicles of St. Mary’s 1
Just One Damned Thing after Another
by Jodi Taylor
Fresh from finishing her Ph.D., Madeline Maxwell (aka Max) runs into her high school
mentor who encourages her to apply for a position with a cloistered group of historians
called St. Mary’s Institute of Historical Research.
— Michael Main
Think of History as a living organism, with its own defence mechanisms. History will not
permit anything to change events that have already taken place. If History thinks, even
for one moment, that that is about to occur, then it will, without hesitation, eliminate
the threatening virus. Or historian, as we like to call them.
