There are some who say they're disappointed by this series, after all we've raised our expectations quite high with his stunning Artemis Fowl series. And to some point those people are correct after all by the time this book was published Eoin Colfer had finished the Artemis Fowl series. But then again the job of a book lover isn't to judge a book by it's AUTHOR but on it's STORY. Do you see? To some state it's true that this book will never live up to it's predecessors but we can still try to judge it by itself ignoring our disappointments. A great mix of Time Traveling, 1980's, Modern Awesomeness, FBI spy's, and murder. 13+ Riley is the reluctant apprentice to a master assassin named Albert Garrick. When he is sent to commit his first kill and Albert forces his hand Riley becomes a criminal. But when the man he "killed" happens to be a scientist from the future Riley is transported to the modern world leaving Albert to chase after an ancient and dangerous magic. Chevie is a teen spy who is sent to watch over a "Blob" which her partner claims is really important. But Chevie has her doubts and then a boy falls out of it holding a knife and standing over the dead body of a... MONKEY???? Riley is taken into custody while her partner explains that his father was a time traveling genius who was part of a program called WARP (Witness, Anonymous, Relocation, Program) which was dedicated to keeping witnesses to important cases safe. When Garrick comes after Riley him and Chevie must flee, flipping through time in order to stop Garrick from changing the past (therefore altering the present) forever. All the while trying to figure why Garrick wants Riley so bad. What makes a lowly, abandoned orphan so special?
