Book description
The seventh book in the Thursday Next series by Number One bestselling
author Jasper Fforde.
The BookWorld's leading enforcement officer Thursday Next is four months
into an enforced semi-retirement following an assassination attempt. She
returns home to Swindon for what you'd expect to be a time of
recuperation. If only life were that simple. Thursday is faced with an
array of family problems - 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 to thwart
an angry Deity's promise to wipe Swindon off the face of the earth, and
Jenny, who doesn't exist. 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 . . .
'Forget all the rules of time, space and reality; just sit back and
enjoy the adventure.'
