About the Book
The Bookworld's leading enforcement officer Thursday Next is four months into an enforced semi-retirement following a near fatal assassination
attempt. She returns home to Swindon for what you'd expect to be a time
of recuperation and rest. If only life were that simple.
Thursday is faced with an array of family problems - her son Friday's lack of
focus since his career in the Chronoguard was relegated to a
might-have-been, daughter Tuesday's difficulty perfecting the
Anti-Smote shield needed in time to thwart an angry Deity's promise to
wipe Swindon off the face of the earth, and Jenny, who doesn't exist
except as a confusing memory.
And that's not all. With Goliath
attempting to replace Thursday at every opportunity with synthetic
Thursdays, the prediction that Friday's Destiny-Aware colleagues will
die in mysterious circumstances, and a looming meteorite that could
destroy all human life on earth, Thursday's retirement is going to be
anything but easy.
If you thought dealing with the Bookworld could be hard, wait until you see what it takes to be a mother.
