Description

The FBI has a secret hideout. A place no one would ever look. The past.


Chevie Savano, the FBI's youngest special agent, is in England on the most boring assignment ever. But not for much longer . . .


History's deadliest magician, Albert Garrick, has escaped Victorian London and landed in the present, along with Riley, his apprentice assassin. For his next trick, Garrick is planning to return to the past, taking with him knowledge that will rewrite life as we know it.


Chevie's training didn't cover time-travelling killers, but only she can stop Garrick. And the clock is ticking . . .


'Tense . . . funny . . . clever.' Sunday Times


 


 

Reviews

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 W.A.R.P. series is an all-out blast. Publishers Weekly
