The Hangman's Revolution

W.A.R.P. #2 / 3
by Eoin Colfer
The Hangman's Revolution (W.A.R.P. #2) by Eoin Colfer
★ 7.78 / 35

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 Facsist 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.

Also known as The Reluctant Assassin Book 2.

Eoin Colfer

Eoin Colfer

Eoin Colfer (pronounced Owen) was born in Wexford on the South-East coast of Ireland in 1965, where he and his four brothers were brought up by his father (an elementary school teacher, historian and artist of note) and mother (a drama teacher). He first developed an interest in writing in primary (elementary) school with gripping Viking stories inspired by history he was learning in school at the time!

After leaving school he got his degree from Dublin university and qualified as a primary school teacher, returning to work in Wexford. He married in 1991 and he and his wife spent about 4 years between 1992 and 1996 working in Saudi Arabia, Tunisia and Italy. His first book, Benny and Omar, was published in 1998, based on his experiences in Tunisia; it has since been translated into many languages. A sequel followed in 1999, followed by some other books (see below).

Then in 2001 the first Artemis Fowl book was published and he was able to resign from teaching and concentrate fully on writing.He says, “I will keep writing until people stop reading or I run out of ideas. Hopefully neither of these will happen anytime soon. He lives in Ireland with his wife and two children.

"The Hangman's Revolution". Well, shame they changed the cover a bit. Apart from that - it's just Colfer. Like when, in Steampunk groups (because W.A.R.P. is part Steampunk) you say 'Vernian' when you're talking about Jules Verne, or 'Edisonades' when it's about books featuring Thomas Edison, you can say this is 'Colferian' or something like that. It's very simple - if you liked the first book, you'll like the second one too.
