About this ebook
The seventh book in the phenomenally successful Thursday Next series by Number One bestselling author Jasper Fforde.
'Fans of the late Douglas Adams, or, even, Monty Python, will feel at home with Fforde' - Herald
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 . . .

Although this book is overshadowed by Jasper's former magnificence it still stands for it's ultimate uniqueness and predominant creativity, the absence of the cronoguards and the book world was it's definite drawback, I would recommend Jasper's earlier books, the ncd novels are excellent too - forever fan

Very silly, but with added poignancy, lots of new Ffordian/Nextian almost scientific daftness, great plot! My favourite Thursday Next book, ( I said that about the last one as well!)
