Just One Damned Thing After Another

Enter the chaotic world of St Mary's Institute of Historical Research, where history isn't just studied – it's lived. Dr. Madeleine 'Max' Maxwell, a feisty and brilliant historian, finds herself recruited into an organization that defies conventional academia. Their method? Time travel. Using highly advanced, if occasionally malfunctioning, equipment, St Mary's teams leap into the past to observe historical events firsthand, meticulously ensuring they don't alter the timeline or, crucially, get themselves killed. Max’s journey begins with thrilling, often hilarious, jaunts to pivotal moments in history, from ancient Rome to tumultuous Victorian London. However, Max soon discovers that despite their best efforts, messing with history is fraught with peril. Danger lurks in every century, and powerful forces conspire to undermine St Mary's vital work. As Max navigates political intrigue, personal rivalries, and the sheer unpredictability of time itself, she learns that preserving the past is a far more dangerous and complicated endeavor than she ever imagined, proving that for St Mary's, it's truly 'just one damned thing after another.'
