The newest tour de force starring Thursday Next in the New York Times bestselling seriesThe Bookworld�s leading enforcement officer, Thursday Next, has been forced into a semiretirement following an assassination attempt, returning home to Swindon and her family to recuperate.But Thursday�s children have problems that demand she become a mother of invention: Friday�s career struggles in the Chronoguard, where he is relegated to a might-have-been; Tuesday�s trouble 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 the issue of Thursday�s third child, Jenny, who doesn�t exist except as a confusing and disturbing memory.With Goliath attempting to replace Thursday at every opportunity with synthetic Thursdays, and a call from the Bookworld to hunt down Pagerunners who have jumped into the Realworld, Thursday�s convalescence is going to be anything but restful as the week ahead promises to be one of the Next family�s oddest.
