Book description
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?
