Summary

In 1892, Oscar Zoroaster Diggs turned up in Topeka with a suitcase full of high quality emeralds. Instantly the richest man in Kansas, his winning smile and keen mind launched him into a meteoric political career. As Secretary of War under Teddy Roosevelt, Diggs oversees the construction of a fleet of rigid airships. Dorothy Gale, a reporter for the Kansas Ear, is the one person who knows the truth about Diggs. She met him 10 years prior in the Emerald City, where he ruled as the Wizard. But how can she explain to her editor that Diggs intends to use his aerial navy to invade an island in the clouds ruled by witches? Stopping Diggs is going to take more than the power of the press. She’ll need the help of old friends, and maybe a Winged Monkey, as she pursues the Wizard across the wondrous and deadly Land of Oz.

Dorothy After Oz

I want to put it here first that the Wizzard of Oz is one of my least favourite stories - it's not the books fault but the film, Having to watch it every year put me off it but when I saw this book I had to try and overcome my dislike to give it a fair listen.

I think I did as I enjoyed it, it really is a good explanation of what happened after Dorothy left OZ and grew up yet ends up back there with nearly all the original characters. If you love the story you will love this one also I think and even if like me you just had been put off due to overexposure to the film I would give it a listen as I think you will find its worth it.

It is well written with the author coming all and any questions you might have been left with after the original story finished.

The narrator only adds to the book, his voice and voice acting skills make the story totally enjoyable to listen to.

I had always assumed I would never revisit the Oz Universe but James Maxey's book made me glad I did.
