About this listen

Things are about to get serious for Harry Dresden, Chicago's only professional wizard, in the next entry in the number one New York Times and number one Sunday Times best-selling Dresden Files.

Harry has faced terrible odds before. He has a long history of fighting enemies above his weight class. The Red Court of vampires. The fallen angels of the Order of the Blackened Denarius. The Outsiders.

But this time it's different. A being more powerful and dangerous on an order of magnitude beyond what the world has seen in a millennium is coming. And she's bringing an army. The Last Titan has declared war on the city of Chicago and has come to subjugate humanity, obliterating any who stand in her way.

Harry's mission is simple but impossible: save the city by killing a Titan. And the attempt will change Harry's life, Chicago and the mortal world forever.

The wait was worth it. This has replaced Dead Beat as my favourite in the series though it was an emotional roller coaster. The excellent short story at the end was the icing on the cake.

Best in the series

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, although I am majorly heartbroken over some of the developments. Some of these developments were long in the making and shadows were cast from past books, some were an absolute gut punch and one left me rather surprised as I did not see this coming.
These books - clearly it is one large book with Peace Talks being the first part - throw Harry’s world into a spin again, just like Changes turned everything upside down.
It always felt up until Changes was Episode 1, and now up to these books we had episode 2. Cannot wait what will happen in Episode 3, just please don’t take another six years for the next book.
James Marsters obviously outdoes himself again, he channels Dresden so well and is part of the reason these audiobooks are so enjoyable.

Great read - but needs to be read with Peace Talks

I really enjoy the Dreden files and allways look forward with anticipation towards future novels!
Well done Jim Butcher and good to still hear James Masters as I can not imagine them without his delivery!

I Just love the Dresden Files well done

I should start by saying ‘there are NO spoilers in this review... well maybe a little one’ You made us wait YEARS for the new Dresden files and then ‘Bam’ drop two within months of each other and whooeee what a ride they take you one. Battleground feels more like an action movie than a fantasy but damn it’s good! I mean you did make me cry a bit but it’s ok, I forgive you and (more importantly) I realised that instead of being an epic finale... there’s a bit more of Harry Dresden in the offing (Hurrah).
James Marsters is, as ever, the ONLY voice I want to listen to as Dresden; he is magnificent. I’m writing this review now as there’s a little bit extra to listen to but I’m saving that for Christmas Eve😜

I forgive you Jim Butcher...,
