Book Eleven of The Dresden Files

Dear Author:

Since you degraded the Denarians, Harry Dresden needs a new invincibe opponent. In walks the skinwalker, a nightmare from Navajo mythology. Now Dresden needs help to bring it down. He could ask Listens-to-Wind, mighty wizard and member of the Senior Council, about Navajo myths and how to kill a demigod. He doesn't. He asks his talking skull who knows next to nothing and admits it. But Bob the spirit of intellect doesn't even suggest bringing in an expert. Harry talks to Listens-to-Wind about something else, but doesn't think to bring up the skinwalker. Instead, he plots a plot where forces from the Senior Council of wizards and the White Court of vampires together face two small armies sent by evil wizards. Then he calls the skinwalker to the same spot. In the worst of cases, the two armies and the nigh-invincible skinwalker could have banded together and wiped out the best fighting wizards of the Council and Harry's friends in the White Court.

Luckily, Harry's enemies are so disorganized that neither small army knows about the other. Luckily, the skinwalker takes no interest in what happens a few meters away. And luckily, Wizard Listens-to-Wind is among the White Council fighters.

A disappointing victory. Dresden didn't deserve to survive that one.

Yours sincerely
Christina Widmann de Fran
