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.
