Welcome to the website of writers Simon Scarrow and Alex Scarrow. Here you can find out about our books, us, and the things we are interested in. From time to time we will add material to explain the origins of the books, as well as some background material.
February saw an unprecedented event in the careers of Simon and Alex when both their new titles from Puffin Books were published on the same day.
TimeRiders: The Gates of Rome is the fifth book in Alex’s epic time-travel series featuring Maddy, Sal and Liam. This time they must go back to ancient Rome to rescue a party of time travellers from our future, and at the same time correct an alternative time line which features two characters from another series of books, namely Macro and Cato - but as you have never seen them before (or will ever see them again!).
Gladiator: Street Fighter is the second book in Simon’s series telling the tale of a young boy, Marcus, sold into slavery and forced to become a gladiator. In this book Marcus has been brought to Rome by a Julius Caesar to train as the bodyguard to Caesar’s niece, during the turbulent year of Caesar’s first consulship. Marcus must deal with his master’s political enemies and vicious street gangs while continuing his mission to win his freedom and find and save his mother from the evil crook who first enslaved them both.
