About this listen

Thursday Next, literary detective and newlywed, is back to embark on an adventure that begins, quite literally on her own doorstep. It seems that Landen, her husband of four weeks, actually drowned in an accident when he was two years old. Someone, somewhere, sometime, is responsible. The sinister Goliath Corporation wants its operative Jack Schitt out of the poem in which Thursday trapped him, and it will do almost anything to achieve this - but bribing the ChronoGuard? Is that possible?

Having barely caught her breath after The Eyre Affair, Thursday must battle corrupt politicians, try to save the world from extinction, and help the Neanderthals to species self-determination. Mastadon migrations, journeys into Just William, a chance meeting with the Flopsy Bunnies, and violent life-and-death struggles in the summer sales are all part of a greater plan.

But whose? and why?

Please note: Chapter 13 has been intentionally omitted from this title.

Loved this book! Like the first, it is full of whit, fantastic pop culture references and humour. It has delved into new realms of fantasy and I cannot wait to see what happens next!

Better than the first?

Really enjoyed listening to this book, feel like I'm getting more out of this series by listening to it, than I did when I read it.

Makes me want to listen/read the books that are mentioned. I've seen an adaptation of Great Expectations but not read one, will add it to my list, likewise The Raven.

Great Sequel
