Book description
Fourteen years after she pegged out at 1988 SuperHoop, Thursday Next
is grappling with a recalcitrant new apprentice, the death of Sherlock
Holmes and the inexplicable departure of comedy from the
once-hilarious Thomas Hardy novels.
Her idle sixteen-year-old would rather sleep all day than save the
world from imminent destruction, the government has a dangerously high
stupidity surplues, and the Stiltonista Cheese Mafia are causing
trouble for Thursday in her hometown of Swindon.
Then things begin to get bad. As Reality Book Shows look set to
transplant Reality TV Shows and Goliath invent a trans-fictional
tourist coach, Thursday must once again have her wits about her as she
travels to the very limits of acceptable narrative possibilities to
rescue the reading experience from almost certain destruction . . .
