W.A.R.P., Book 3: The Forever Man

by Eoin Colfer Narrated by Maxwell Caulfield

Overview

Riley, an orphan boy living in Victorian London, has achieved his dream of becoming a renowned magician, the Great Savano. He owes much of his success to Chevie, a seventeen-year-old FBI agent who traveled from the future in a time pod and helped him defeat his murderous master, Albert Garrick. But it is difficult for Riley to enjoy his new life, for he has always believed that Garrick will someday, somehow, return to seek vengeance.

Chevie has assured Riley that Garrick was sucked into a temporal wormhole, never to emerge. The full nature of the wormhole has never been understood, however, and just as a human body will reject an unsuitable transplant, the wormhole eventually spat him out. By the time Garrick makes it back to Victorian London, he has been planning his revenge on Riley for centuries. But even the best-laid plans can go awry, and when the three are tossed once more into the wormhole, they end up in a highly paranoid Puritan village where everything is turned upside down. Chevie is accused of being a witch, Garrick is lauded as the town's protector, and...is that a talking dog? Riley will need to rely on his reserve of magic tricks to save Chevie and destroy his former master once and for all.

Editorial Reviews

DECEMBER 2015 - AudioFile

Riley, a Victorian orphan, and Chevie, a teenage FBI agent, travel back in time on the trail of psychopath Albert Garrick, a murderer, witch hunter, and ruthless serial killer who time travels between the 1600s and the late 1800s in search of death, revenge, and torture. Narrator Maxwell Caulfield’s familiar crisp voice shifts smoothly as the characters change time periods. He uses a broad Cockney accent to perform Garrick’s soliloquies and wide variety of other British accents and odd American accents for the host of other characters. When Garrick accidentally triggers a temporal wormhole, all three land in 1647, where dangers abound. Listeners unfamiliar with the WARP series are thrust into a confusion of characters, accents, plots, and motives. Caulfield does his best to illuminate the complex plot and differentiate the characters. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine
