Description:
Imagine this... Great Britain in 1985 is close to being a police
state. The Crimean War has dragged on for more than 130 years and Wales
is self-governing. The only recognizable thing about this England is
her citizens' enduring love of literature. And the Third Most Wanted
criminal, Acheron Hades, is stealing characters from England's cherished
literary heritage and holding them for ransom. He has also begun attacking
original manuscripts, thus changing all copies in print and enraging
the reading public. That's why Special Operations Network has a Literary
Division, and it is why one of its operatives, Thursday Next, is on
the case.
