Livingstone Chronicles Books in Order

Livingstone Chronicles is a modern, high-stakes adventure series built around archaeological discovery. The books follow Adam Livingstone, a British archaeologist whose work pulls him into controversies that aren’t just academic, because some finds can shake whole nations.

In A Rift in Time, Livingstone makes a discovery on Mount Ararat that many people have chased for centuries: evidence connected to Noah’s Ark. The claim attracts attention fast, from true believers to skeptics, and from people who want the truth to people who want control.

Knowledge can be dangerous.

The story continues in Hidden in Time, where the hunt shifts toward another legendary object, the Ark of the Covenant. The series plays out like a chase across borders, mixing research, risk, and the constant question of who can be trusted when money, politics, and religion collide.

Even with the action, Phillips keeps the focus on the human cost. Livingstone has to weigh ambition against conscience, and the books keep asking what discovery is for: proving a point, gaining fame, or serving something larger than yourself.

If you like thriller pacing with big historical questions underneath, this series delivers. Start with A Rift in Time and read in order so the second book’s stakes land with full force.
