About this audiobook

Dak, Sera, and Riq might be in over their heads when they attempt to stop a Viking invasion!

Hundreds of ships carrying thousands of warriors are laying siege to medieval Paris. The Parisians are holding their own, but the stalemate can only last so long. And that's bad news -- especially since Dak has been captured, forced to work alongside the Vikings while Sera and Riq defend Paris from within. No matter which side wins, the kids lose!

    This books about three kids saving the world. They are in a group known as the Historians. With a ring that allows them to travel through time they must fix history. History became broken by an organization known as SQ. SQ has been changing history creating breaks in the fabric of time. The three kids Dak, Sera, and Riq have to Protect Paris from an attack from Viking. They end up having to find a ally among the Vikings. After they thing there job is done they end up having to come back to make sure that Rollo ( The friendly Viking) gets Paris peacefully. I didn't find this book as exciting as I would have liked. It also had me confused. Also I found the book had to much detail for the minor thing and needed more important detail. I also thought that at some points it needed to add more suspense and action. This book also had a good amount of good word choice. I would recommend this book if you had no other series that your reading.

    The book opens up with Dak, Riq, and Sera arriving in Paris. The year is 885, with the Viking Siegfried aiming to take the city. Dak, Riq, and Sera need to defend Paris from the Viking onslaught. Things get complicated when Dak is captured by Viking forces. However, they learn their goal was to solve things peacefully. They team up with historian Billfrith to set things right. They return almost 40 years later, they learn their job is not yet finished as Siegfried invades Normandy. Wow, I mean, just wow. While yes, this is no Harry Potter, this book deserves a bit more than it gets. This is definitely one of the better books of the series. This book had a great story plot. Rarely ever does a book place the main characters on opposite fields of battle while trying to complete the same goal. This was a daring and bold move. This book shows us the characters forming bonds with people who oppose the enemy factions. Dak makes friends with the Vikings, while Sera rallies the Franks. Overall this book had a touch to it most books don't.

    This is a fun book for young time travel lovers. Using the Infinity Ring, Dak, Sera, and Riq have to fix the breaks in history to restore the present world to the way it was meant to be. In this episode they land in the year 885 and battle the Vikings. Along the way they have to fight the Time Wardens who are sent by the SQ to prevent the trio from fixing time. A fun series.

    The Infinity Ring series is just what kids need to get excited about history or what could have been history. Just as living history museums are more attractive to people so is this series for revving kids (and their parents ) up about history. Once again, we find our young group bouncing across the centuries in search of the breaks in history. Dak, Sera and Rik now are in Paris during the 9th century siege by Vikings. True to form, Dak lets his love of history get him into trouble and he is captured by the enemy forces. While his friends try to free him and keep the Vikings from succeeding, they also discover that the true enemy might not be who they thought. They need to find the break and solve the codes, ciphers and clues to figure out the break in history and how to correct it. While Dak is checking out the Vikings, Sera is checking out our young historian, Billfrith. As they attempt to correct history and then use the Infinity Ring to get to their next destination plans get scrambled and new allies are found. Terrific new series that is similar to the Thirty Nine Clues but with a bit less violence and a lot more history.

    This is the second volume in the Infinity Ring series which follows the adventures of Sera, Dak and Riq as they travel through time using the Infinity Ring to fix Breaks, events where history went wrong, jeopardising the future as a result. Here they find themselves in Paris in 885, having to fight off a Viking invasion with the help of a young local Hystorian. As the reader should be familiar with the three heroes and the Infinity Ring (ideally having read the first book, A Mutiny in Time), more time is devoted to the action, dealing with full-throttle battle sequences. Some of the scenes are quite graphic and not for the squeamish; where the first book was relatively tame in terms of action and violence and probably suitable for children aged 9+, this one is definitely not, so I really would only recommend it for older children (aged 11+). All this action doesn't leave much room for character development, and the three children are just as annoying and unbelievable as in the first book (Dak a walking history encyclopaedia, Sera a science genius (specialty: quantum mechanics) and Riq a linguistics expert fluent in 16 languages), but I doubt any of the young readers will be troubled by this. For fairness' sake I have to mention that the author (different from the first volume) has attempted to give each individual's personality a little more depth, even though this doesn't amount to much in the end. Again the book comes with a guide at the front of the book (to be read only after completion of the novel), with a fold-out map, historic facts, tips and instructions on how to fix the next Break in time, which is then to be played out online. A third book is already in the offing, which I will undoubtedly get as well to keep my son and aspiring history buff happy.(This review was originally written for Amazon's Vine programme.)
