TimeRiders series.
This book returns Sal, Liam, and Maddy to their 2001 NYC hideout. Exploring Foster's files, the trio creates a new support unit, Becks. Liam and Becks travel forward to save the originator of time travel, but a scientific snafu sends them to the Cretaceous period. Scarrow puts together unlikely people and situations and somehow makes them seem plausible.

YA
Maddy, Liam, and Sal are teenagers from different countries and time periods. They have been selected as "TimeRiders" and are sent to a barely pre-9/11 New York to watch for history-changing ripples in the space/time continuum. Though Scarrow attempts to tackle a little too much, he keeps readers entertained throughout this fast-paced read.
