On My Wishlist – 9

On My Wishlist is a fun weekly event hosted by Book Chick City and runs every Saturday. It’s where we list all the books we desperately want but haven’t actually bought yet. They can be old, new or forthcoming. Click on the link to Book Chick City, sign the Mr. Linky and join the fun!

This one caught my attentions because it has so many things I can enjoy in a story : it’s set in the future, in an utopian setting, with what sounds like maybe time-travel or control of time or something like that? I’m not sure, but I am VERY fascinated. And it’s only coming out in September. which sounds too far away right now.

The Revisionists by Thomas Mullen

Summary from Goodreads :

Zed is an agent from the future. A place where all of the world’s problems have been solved. No hunger. No war. No despair.

His mission is to keep that way. Even if it means ensuring every cataclysm throughout history runs its course, especially one just on the horizon.

Zed’s mission will ensnare the lives of a disgraced former spy named Leo; a young lawyer, Tasha, grieving over the loss of her brother; Sari, 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?

What is at the top of your wishlist right now?
