 The Hangman’s Revolution (W.A.R.P. #2)

SYNOPSIS:
Young FBI agent Chevie Savano arrives back in modern-day London after a time-trip to the Victorian age, to find the present very different from the one she left. Europe is being run by a Fascist movement known as the Boxites, who control their territory through intimidation and terror. Chevie’s memories come back to her in fragments, and just as she is learning about the WARP program from Professor Charles Smart, inventor of the time machine, he is killed by secret service police. Now they are after Chevie, too, but she escapes–into the past. She finds Riley, who is being pursued by futuristic soldiers, and saves him. Working together again, it is up to Chevie and Riley to find the enigmatic Colonel Clayton Box, who is intent on escalating his power, and stop him before he can launch missiles at the capitals of Europe.

WHY SHOULD YOU CHECK IT OUT?
Time-travel will have its day. And maybe the W.A.R.P. series will usher in that age! Chevie Savano and Riley team up once more to save their pasts and futures. The teased plot points echo classic spy movie high jinks and villainy.

The cover looks ready to leap to theaters this summer, the next generation of ‘Spy Kids’ films. The red spectrum evokes a fiery plotline; and the skull-like gas masks are one part morbid and one part Dr. Who’s “The Empty Child”-level disturbing.

You’ve probably heard of—if not read—Eoin Colfer’s previous series… a little 8-book fantasy series called Artemis Fowl. Yeah? We thought so. Colfer has a stellar track record of highly readable and fun adventures, and his latest is bound to delight!

EARLY REVIEWS SAY…
The plot consists of a quick and, usually, violent series of escapades. … A grand yarn told with a wink and kitted out with high stakes and broadly drawn characters for maximum fun.
