Infinity Ring

Infinity Ring series.
Dashner brings this arc of the series to a satisfying close by taking Dak, Sera, and Riq back to the prime break: the death of Alexander the Great. With help from Aristotle, the time-travelers must fix history once and for all. Although most loose ends are tied up, a cliffhanger epilogue sets the stage for a sequel.

Infinity Ring series.
Although they thought they had fixed all of the Breaks, Dak and Sera are swept off on separate, unexpected time-travel missions with unscrupulous companions. They eventually reunite with Riq in ancient Greece and discover that there are new Breaks in need of repair. In a worthy eighth entry, the mixture of history, science, and adventure will delight fans of the time-travel-mystery series.

Infinity Ring series.
Time travelers Dak, Riq, and Sera get closer to restoring history to its rightful chronology with each mission. After saving an important book in medieval Baghdad (Cave), they fight the Nazis--and the evil SQ organization--in World War II Europe (Enemy Lines). Although fans of this brisk-paced adventure series will enjoy both books, neither clearly separates fact and fiction. Review covers these Infinity Ring titles: Cave of Wonders and Behind Enemy Lines.

Infinity Ring series.
Time travelers Dak, Sera, and Riq visit the American South in 1850 to restore the Underground Railroad (Trap), then visit ancient Mexico to save a Mayan codex from destruction (Curse). While Trap treads familiar ground in its exploration of American slavery, Curse, with nuance and sincerity, depicts the less-familiar Spanish eradication of Mayan cultural artifacts.

Infinity Ring series.
This series (which has an online component) focuses on history nerd Dak, physics-obsessed Sera, and polyglot Riq as they travel through time to repair history. Mutiny focuses on Columbus's voyage; the writing is stilted and Native Americans are ignored. Divide, set in medieval Paris, appears to be more accurate, though the writing is formulaic. Fans of the 39 Clues books will be clamoring for this read-alike.
