[The Dresden Files] Changes

[Quasar]

So looking for something else I checkout the Jim Butcher site to discover that Changes is little more than a month away (well 6 weeks). Huzzah!

Also a blurb for the book. And one which I found rather revealing. Definitely an interesting setup. Now I'm even more excited for the book

THEY'VE TAKEN OUR BABYY

[Wraith's Hand]

Long ago, Susan Rodriguez was Harry Dresden's lover-until she was attacked by his enemies, leaving her torn between her own humanity and the bloodlust of the vampiric Red Court. Susan then disappeared to South America, where she could fight both her savage gift and those who cursed her with it.

Now Arianna Ortega, Duchess of the Red Court, has discovered a secret Susan has long kept, and she plans to use it-against Harry. To prevail this time, he may have no choice but to embrace the raging fury of his own untapped dark power. Because Harry's not fighting to save the world...

He's fighting to save his child.

Link for those who want it.

In some ways the set up is clichéd, but then again, Butcher is good at using the standard motifs and making them his own.

Huh, so when she says "They've taken our child" she actually DID mean herself and Harry. I was sort of expecing that to be a misunderstanding.

Well, it still could be... something. I wouldn't put it past Butcher to have things get a little more complicated.

It would seem like a misstep to give Harry an actual family. It's what he wants more than anything.

Well, calling having a White Court vampire half-brother, a "Red Court virgin" mother of his child and his a child a half-human/half Red-Court vampire, a family is exaggerating things a bit... if it is a family, it is a highly disfunctional one... so it would be fun to write/read about.

What;s given date of the Turncoat soft cover release.
Because I'm waiting for that one.

[Anglachel]

I've seen Turncoat in Paperback at the grocery store a couple of weeks ago. No idea when it's coming around your parts.

This is going to be an epic clusterfuck. And I mean this in the way most directly translatable to meaning it will be REALLY fun to read.
