Summary:
Against the futuristic
landscape of totalitarian Britain, a young working-class woman named Evey is
rescued from a life-and-death situation by a masked man known only as "V."
Profoundly complex, V is at once literary, flamboyant, tender and intellectual,
a man dedicated to freeing his fellow citizens from those who have terrorized
them into compliance. He is also bitter, revenge-seeking, lonely and violent,
driven by a personal vendetta. In his quest to free the people of England from
the corruption and cruelty that have poisoned their government, V condemns the
tyrannical nature of their appointed leaders and invites his fellow citizens to
join him in the shadows of Parliament of November the 5th--Guy Fawkes Day. On
that day in 1605, Guy Fawkes was discovered in a tunnel beneath Parliament with
36 barrels of gunpowder. He and his co-conspirators had engineered the
treasonous "Gunpowder Plot" in response to the tyranny of their government under
James I. Fawkes and his fellow saboteurs were hanged, drawn and quartered, and
their plan to take down their government never came to pass. In the spirit of
that rebellion, in remembrance of that day, V vows to carry out the plot that
Fawkes was executed for attempting on November 5th in 1605: he will blow up
Parliament. As Evey uncovers the truth about V's mysterious past, she also
discovers the truth about herself--and emerges as his unlikely ally in the
culmination of his plan to ignite a revolution, bringing freedom and justice
back to a society fraught with cruelty and corruption
