In this first book of the W.A.R.P. series, Riley, an evil magician's assistant in Victorian London, slits the throat of a sleeping scientist. Suddenly Riley and the dying man are transported to contemporary London. Chevron, an FBI trainee, befriends Riley. The illusionist, Garrick, is transported to contemporary society and is determined to kill both Riley and Chevron. The chase meanders through disreputable districts in Victorian London populated with seedy inhabitants. Eventually the teens escape Garrick and Chevron returns to his time. This story has spunky and resourceful teens who survive terrifying predicaments, nasty villains, nonstop action, and time travel. Graphic violence leaves very little to the imagination and may be disturbing to sensitive readers. Like Colfer's Artemis Fowl series (Disney-Hyperion), this book has action but is considerably more menacing and sinister. Cynthia D.
