About this listen

Things are about to get serious for Harry Dresden, Chicago’s only professional wizard, in the next entry in the number-one New York Times best-selling Dresden Files.

Harry has faced terrible odds before. He has a long history of fighting enemies above his weight class. The Red Court of vampires. The fallen angels of the Order of the Blackened Denarius. The Outsiders.

But this time it’s different. A being more powerful and dangerous on an order of magnitude beyond what the world has seen in a millennium is coming. And she’s bringing an army. The Last Titan has declared war on the city of Chicago and has come to subjugate humanity, obliterating any who stand in her way.

Harry’s mission is simple but impossible: Save the city by killing a Titan. And the attempt will change Harry’s life, Chicago, and the mortal world forever.

Delivers on the promise!

After the massively disappointing Peace Talks, Battle Ground really delivers and makes the 6 year wait between installments really worthwhile! I know that Jim split the two books in half since he'd written too much, but I still kind of wish they were still stuck together. But as someone who's favorite book - ever - is book 12, Changes, this really scratched that itch. In fact there's more series-altering changes in Battle Ground than there were in Changes! Very, very good.

Man, this one is a heavy hitter!!! 😮

Wow!!!

Masterful storytelling.

I've read/listened to all of the Dresden files novels up to this one, and I have to say that this particular story was the most shocking one yet!

Bring your tissues peeps, cause you'll laugh, you'll cheer, and oh yes, YOU WILL cry!

I dare say no more!

An impressive and heartfelt Dresden experience

For all that it sounds trite, I truly did laugh and cry, and more than once of each. Butcher paints a vivid and compelling picture, and Marsters performance is masterful. I am moved, and it was worth the wait.

And now the wait begins for the next one...

The combination of James Marsters & Jim Butcher in this series is incredible. Not since Changes have I felt this kind of raw emotion from a book about Chicago's resident wizard. From the highs to the lows I felt every moment of this wild ride. Thank you to both Jim & James for continuing to deliver.
