FBI Agent Chevie Savano must return to 19th-century London to alter history and prevent millions of deaths, aided by a young magician and a Victorian gangster against formidable villains.
In The Hangman's Revolution, the second installment of the W.A.R.P. series by Eoin Colfer, FBI Agent Chevie Savano finds herself ensnared in a terrifying future. With the fate of millions hanging in the balance, she must journey back to 19th-century London to alter the course of history. The stakes are incredibly high, and failure is not an option. To aid her in this daunting task, Chevie teams up with Riley, a young magician, and a charming Victorian gangster. Together, they face off against two deranged villains who have inexplicably transported advanced military technology from the future into the past, posing a dire threat to the world.
As Chevie navigates this perilous landscape, she must confront not only the villains but also the challenges posed by her own time-traveling predicament. The tension escalates as she races against time to prevent catastrophic consequences that could arise from the misuse of future technology. The narrative is infused with humor and wit, characteristic of Colfer's writing style, which keeps readers engaged while exploring serious themes of responsibility and sacrifice.
The Hangman's Revolution combines elements of adventure, fantasy, and historical fiction, making it a captivating read for fans of the genre. With its clever plot twists and dynamic characters, the book offers a fresh take on the time travel narrative, ensuring that readers will be eagerly turning the pages to see if Chevie can succeed in her mission before it's too late.
Colfer has the ability to make you laugh twice over: first in sheer subversive joy at the inventiveness of the writing, and again at the energy of the humour * Sunday Times *
Readers mourning the end of the Artemis Fowl series can take heart: this first book in the time-bending WARP series is an all-out blast. * Publishers Weekly *
