For graduates of Percy Jackson and fans of Alex Rider comes the second book in the adventure-filled Evil Villains International League series, bringing a maelstrom of epic proportions as Keeper Chance and his friends must beat the paradoxes of time to conquer a dangerously deceptive enemy.

Keeper Chance hasn't been an E.V.I.L. villain for long, but there are two things he knows:

One: Nothing is ever as it seems. That goes double when you're up against a doppelgänger. It's going to take patience and perseverance for Keeper and villainous teammates Toby and Y to figure out who is who and why someone who can be anyone would want to kidnap a senior member of E.V.I.L.

Two: It helps to have time on your side. But the doppelgänger seems to have recruited flunkies who can bend time to their will. Even worse, there's Toby's brother, who's no slouch when it comes to being a parental snitch.

Before the clock runs out (or back), it'll take a showdown with the time benders--not to mention some seriously vicious cats--to unmask the imposter and end the mayhem. Someone is going to have to step up and save the day. But will it be an E.V.I.L. hero...or a H.E.R.O.?
