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.

I have been a fan of this series since stumbling on the intriguingly titled "Lost in a good book" .
This is another great story that ties up previous loose ends in classic Nextian fashion while leaving scope for other sequels.
I hope there will be more travels in the BookWorld.
This was the first in the series that I listened to on Audible and I thought the reader performed very well, just like I imagine Thursday to sound.

Another ace Thursday Next tale
