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.

Lost in a good book
Really enjoying this series, fast paced with lots of unexpected turns. Confusing but strangely logical. Can’t wait to read the next one.

Better than the first?
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!

Witty, smartly plotted but not too heavy
This book builds Nicky on its predecessor and the author has the great skill of not rushing to where you expect to be but instead let’s the story breathe and expand at a decent pace without ever feeling like it want to be anywhere but where it is. In other hands it might rush out of the real world and head long into books which could easily end up making the whole idea become a bit tired and over used. Instead there is a deft touch giving a nice balance of the real world (as strange as it is to us) and the book world. The antagonist isn’t nearly as strong or interesting as the Eyre Affair but strangely it doesn’t really matter at the character of Thursday is enough to drive the plot forward without a particularly strong enemy but instead a series of improbable events and the vague notion that the end of there world is looming. The resolution is very deus ex machina but the tone of the book embraces this and so it all fits rather nicely.
A great performance caps off what is a thoroughly enjoyable sequel.
