Story
Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a parallel time and place that might sound and smell very much like our own, but which looks completely different. Particularly as it’s carried though space on the back of a giant turtle (sex unknown). It plays by different rules. But then, some things are the same everywhere. The Disc’s very existence is about to be threatened by a strange new blight: the world’s first tourist, upon whose survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land.

Best so far..
James Marsters is a fantastic narrator, I felt this performance was more fluid than some of his past efforts. I'm dedicated to hearing all of the Dresden files.

The ball really gets moving in this book
This is the first book that starts the series rocketing into greatness. The past books are all great individually, but in this one; new characters have their roles fleshed out and begin to provide the story a lot of weight. I love listening to this series from this book onwards.

James Marsters is Harry Dresden.
I've enjoyed all of the Dresden Files to date in ebook form (waiting on the next one) and Mr Marsters' voice in now the one I hear when reading them again. He has increased his range of voices for different characters since doing Storm Front and now it can be easy to forget that it is a single narrator.
I particularly enjoyed the sequence with Sue (and that is as much as I'm going to say about it, those that know probably agree with me, those that don't are in for a treat).

Butters is the best sidekick!
#teambutters
An easy listen. The story draws down on the established world building. It’s fun to have the greater wizarding community involved.
Pleasant change to not have the abrasive Murphy in the story for once.

Need a reality change?
Beautiful way to roll in another reality which seems necessary sometimes currently.
