The Time Guardians
The Galilean Gambit

The Chronos Crew is back and this time the fate of the Scientific Revolution hangs in the balance. Fresh from their adventure in Ancient Egypt, Juno, Max, Harper, and Ren are pulled through the Chronos Cave into Renaissance Italy, 1633. The target: Galileo Galilei, standing trial before the Inquisition for daring to say the Earth moves around the Sun. If Galileo is silenced, the path to modern science changes forever. And someone from the Tempus Corporation is already there, making sure he fails. The Chronos Crew must navigate 17th century Florence, decode messages hidden in Galileo's notes, and outmaneuver enemies who know they are coming. ECHO carries new secrets. The Guardian legacy runs deeper than anyone knew. And Max is about to discover that his obsession with history was never just a hobby. Perfect for fans of Rick Riordan and Magic Tree House. Book 2 of The Time Guardians series.

The Chronos Crew returns for their most dangerous mission yet—and this time, they only have 27 hours to save history itself. Fresh from Egypt, twelve-year-old Juno Jones and her friends jump unprepared into 1610 Florence. Miss the window, and they stay forever. To get home they must steal a time artifact from Galileo's workshop, survive a Medici feast, and fight on Brunelleschi's dome—while Tempus rewrites the Renaissance around them. One wrong word from Max, and Florence starts to disappear. The clock is literal. The stakes are everything. The Galilean Gambit continues The Time Guardians series—friendship, science, and a corporation that treats the past like a product.
