Product Information
Thursday Next, Head of JurisFiction and ex-SpecOps agent, returns to her native Swindon accompanied by a child of two, a pair of dodos and Hamlet, who is on a fact-finding mission in the real world. Thursday has been despatched to capture escaped Fictioneer Yorrick Kaine but even so, now seems as good a time as any to retrieve her husband Landen from his state of eradication at the hands of the Chronoguard. It s not going to be easy. Thursday s former colleagues at the department of Literary Detectives want her to investigate a spate of cloned Shakespeares, the Goliath Corporation are planning to switch to a new Faith based corporate management system and the Neanderthals feel she might be the Chosen One who will lead them to genetic self-determination. With help from Hamlet, her uncle and time-travelling father, Thursday faces the toughest adventure of her career. Where is the missing President-for-life George Formby? Why is it imperative for the Swindon Mallets to win the World Croquet League final? And why is it so difficult to find reliable childcare?
Prescient in spite of itself. A distopia in another dimension.
This is the anchor-pin of the Thursday Next series, which catches the situation we are in, in the world, now. An unreal character is attempting to take over the country using a racist campaign against the most unlikely foreign citizens.
Trumpian predictions from time past in a book containing predictions from the past.
You couldn't make it up! But. Fforde does!
Brilliant continuation of Fforde's Thursday Next series. Familiar faces alongside brand new characters. Definitely worth continuing on with this series if you enjoyed the previous novels!
A wonderful book! very balanced with so much going on that all just ties together beautifully.
I would definitely recommend reading the first three books first as I think that there would be a lot of little comments missed.
