A fast-paced literary thriller that recalls dystopian classics such
as 1984 and Fahrenheit 451, from the award-winning author of The
Last Town on Earth. Zed is an agent from the future. A time when
the world's problems have been solved. No hunger. No war. No
despair. His mission is to keep it that way. Even if it means
ensuring every cataclysm throughout history runs its
course-especially The Great Conflagration, an imminent disaster in
our own time that Zed has been ordered to protect at all costs.
Zed's mission will disrupt the lives of a disgraced former CIA
agent; a young Washington lawyer grieving over the loss of her
brother, a soldier in Iraq; the oppressed employee of a foreign
diplomat; and countless others. But will he finish his final
mission before the present takes precedence over a perfect future?
One that may have more cracks than he realizes? The Revisionists
puts a fresh spin on today's global crises, playing with the nature
of history and our own role in shaping it. It firmly establishes
Mullen as one of the most exciting and imaginative writers of his
generation.
