With enough energy, the seekers are able to gain physical form, and are then able to influence the world around them.

The seekers themselves consist of pure energy, and leech of power sources when in the normal world. Once outside, Foster explains that the seekers are unknown beings that originate from another dimension known as Chaos space, which what people briefly travel through while time travelling. Right after the three awake, a seeker appears, and they are forced to leave. Moments before their deaths, an old man known as Foster recruits Liam O'Connor from the sinking Titanic, Madelaine (Maddy) Carter from a doomed plane in 2010, and Saleena (Sal) Vikram from a fire in 2026. The reasons, as Foster explains, is that using the time of the collapse of the twin towers, the agents can go unnoticed. The time bubble resets back to September 10th at the end of the 11th, meaning the TimeRiders will relive those two days, over and over, as long as they remain within the time bubble. They all awaken in the Arch under the Williamsburg Bridge in New York in a 48-hour time bubble, running from September 10th, and September 11th. Saleena Vikram's supposed 'death' was not spoken of in the first book.

Liam O'Connor should have died on the Titanic in 1912, Madelaine Carter was supposed to die on a doomed plane above America in 2010, when a mysterious old man offers both the chance to escape, but at a cost: they would not be able to return to their lives ever again. It follows the adventures of Liam O'Connor, Saleena Vikram, and Madelaine Carter, three teenagers pre-destined from the dawn of time to meet early, untimely deaths. TimeRiders is the first book in the TimeRiders series, and was written by Alex Scarrow. This article contains plot details about an upcoming episode, book or any other feature of this topic.
