Chronicles of St. Mary's

A Chronicles of St Mary''s short story that is sure to entertain. If you love Jasper Fforde or Ben Aaronovitch, you won''t be able to resist Jodi Taylor.

Here''s a question for you. What''s the most exciting thing ever found in a fire bucket? And don''t say ''fire'' because you''ll be wrong.

Suppose - just suppose - it was the technology to take a pod to Mars? Yeah, now we''re talking!

Every Christmas, for reasons which seem good at the time - especially after an eggnog or two - Max and the others leap into the nearest pod and indulge in their illegal Christmas jump. It''s a tradition. This year, however, just to be different, they find themselves part of someone else''s illegal Christmas jump. It''s time to don a spacesuit and bring your own urine!
