“What would you get if you crossed Spenser with Merlin? Probably you would come up with someone very like Harry Dresden, wizard, tough guy and star of. Longtime series fans as well as newcomers drawn by the SciFi Channel’s TV series based on the novels should find this supernatural mystery a real winner.”- Library Journal “A tricky plot complete with against-the-clock pacing, firefights, explosions, and plenty of magic. “What’s not to like about this series?.It takes the best elements of urban fantasy, mixes it with some good old-fashioned noir mystery, tosses in a dash of romance and a lot of high-octane action, shakes, stirs, and serves.”- SF Site The supporting cast is again fantastic, and Harry’s wit continues to fly in the face of a peril-fraught plot.”- Booklist (starred review) “Butcher.spins an excellent noirish detective yarn in a well-crafted, supernaturally-charged setting. “One of the most enjoyable marriages of the fantasy and mystery genres on the shelves.”- Cinescape “Superlative.”- Publishers Weekly (starred review) Hamilton and Tanya Huff will love this series.”- Midwest Book Review “Butcher’s tales meld the wonder and fun of the Harry Potter series, but with an adult tone and attitude.“Think Buffy the Vampire Slayer starring Philip Marlowe.”- Entertainment Weekly No plans have been announced for subsequent omnibuses. The Science Fiction Book Club has gathered many of the Dresden books into hardcover omnibuses: Storm Front, Fool Moon, and Grave Peril are collected in Wizard for Hire Summer Knight and Death Masks are in Wizard By Trade Blood Rites and Dead Beat are in Wizard at Large and Proven Guilty and White Night make up Wizard Under Fire. Harry is a wizard, who works as a private investigator of sorts in Chicago, dealing with paranormal crimes and consulting for the Chicago Police Department. The series is slated to run 23-24 books: 20-21 “case books” like we’ve seen so far, capped by a Big Apocalyptic Trilogy, because who doesn’t love apocalyptic trilogies? Book 16, Peace Talks, hits stores July 14th, 2020, coincident with the series’ 20th anniversary. Morgan reveals that he was drugged and framed for the murder of Senior Council member LaFortier. At the same time the Summer Queen Titania sends her assassins champions to kill him as a payback for the death of Summer Lady Aurora. The Dresden Files are Jim’s first published series, telling the story of Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden, Chicago’s first (and only) Wizard P.I. Nearly a year and a half after the events in Small Favor, a wounded Warden Morgan shows up at Dresdens apartment, asking for protection from the other Wardens. In 'Small favor', Harry has to fulfil the task for Winter Queen Mab and save Marcone and Archive/Ivy.
