Summer Knight-Audio Book

Summer Knight is the fourth book in the Dresden files series by Jim Butcher. The version I just finished was the mp3 on cd by Buzzy Multi-Media and read by James Marster.

The story picks up where book three left off and leaves Harry Dresden to deal with the fall out from the last book. The White Council and the Red Court of the vampires are about to go to war and everyone blames Harry. Harry also finds himself trying to solve the murder of the summer knight, one of the fairy court. Jim Butcher uses this book well to add even more detail of the universe he has created. The first three was to focus more on Harry and his magic, and now it is his universe at large that is being explored.

James Marster's reading of this story is more enjoyable than his earlier readings. All of his readings are excellent but it is evident that he is polishing his craft with each project. His performance with this story does not leave your ears tired.

Best line in the story was: In the Name of the Pizza Lord!
Biggest complaint: not enough of Bob the skull. There is never enough of Bob the skull. Probably just my bias so keep that in mind.
4.5 for the writing and the reading of this story.
