America
Berry, Ian

The Saskias, Saskia Chandler and Saskia Hunt, are off on holiday to America. But before they go they have a few things to attend to, both as the SuperTwins, Kyra and Katya, and as themselves. Saskia Chandler discovers she needs to use the knowledge and experience gained when she was still Richie and worked in IT to unravel a mystery involving robberies from ATM machines. Saskia Hunt seems to have come to terms with just exactly who Saskia Chandler actually is, now it's just up to Saskia Chandler to come to terms with that for herself. The Twins find themselves shunted backwards and forwards in time, sometimes only a little way, sometimes hundreds of years - and once into a timeline that has no beginning - and no end. Despite trips to the Moon and to Houston, this time with Rio to assist them, eventually they get to go on their holiday. But they find they still need to use their super powers as they get dragged back to Britain to prevent the whole of South East England becoming an uninhabitable wasteland. Perhaps the strangest thing of all happens in Chicago when they meet two men who were deadly enemies - in the nineteen twenties. But there's a problem - they have no means of returning to their own time!

Brodie, James
¥19.52
-"e;Hello Alex. How nice to see you again."e; He pressed the end of the barrel to my forehead. "e;... It's loaded. I do hope we don't slip on any ice, or you don't make a sudden movement."e;"e;He's mad,"e; said the bloke on my left. "e;... A looney."e;I was suddenly sweating with fear at the sight of his maniacal face and the sensation of metal touching my face. How easy it is to die, I thought... stupidly, accidentally... how unimportant to them, how very important to me. I would be slumped in the back reposing into infinity and they would be nervously glancing at their watches wondering how long it was to opening time.It's 1963.

Twins
Twins
Berry, Ian
¥19.52
The Saskias, Saskia Chandler and Saskia Hunt, lead double lives. Quite apart from being ordinary young girls holding down ordinary jobs, they are also the super-powerful SuperTwins, and the jobs they manage to hold down while being the twins are decidedly not ordinary. Impossible things for the Air Force and fixing problems with tangled timelines in the past are all in a days work for Kyra and Katya. This ability to travel in time, with a little help from Voice, their disembodied guide and mentor, comes in useful when they become involved with the security services and an assassination attempt. Throughout all this, they attempt to lead normal lives, although Saskia Chandler is decidedly not a normal girl. The girls eventually come to the conclusion that far from being Richie, as she began her life, she's always been Saskia, which appears a little odd, but makes perfect sense to them.
