Summer Knight

The Dresden Files, Book 4

By: Jim Butcher

Narrated by: James Marsters

Length: 11 hrs and 13 mins

Publisher's summary

Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden is a very powerful wizard and a dedicated private eye. He is also a wise cracking trouble magnet. Fueled by a tempest of guilt, sleep deprivation, malnutrition, bad temper and frankly awful personal grooming. Harry is hurtling toward oblivion. According to Harry that is nobody's business but his own.

The Winter Queen of Faerie manipulates him into accepting a case to solve a murder and stop a war between the courts of Summer and Winter that could have literally earth shattering consequences. His own soul is up for grabs. Dresden must dig deep to discover that at time a willingness to accept a little help from your friends, be they a cub pack of werewolves, old loves in sheep's clothing, or a battalion of pizza loving dewdrop fairies, is a very good thing.

Harry Out On Loan

Love the Dresden Files. James Masters brings the characters to life like no one else.

Wild Ride

small people take down a big person with cutlery from walmart. Coca Cola is mentioned several times. A wizard learns to feel again. Jim Butcher is a madman and its fantastic.

Funny, dark and witty

Overall I love this series more and more with every story and James Marsters seems a great fit for the voice of the character.

Outstanding story and narration!

Excellent story full of action, twists and turns. Jim Butcher creates an exciting series of events that leaves you eager with anticipation from chapter to chapter.

I also wanted to grandly compliment the narration of James Marsters.
Young, old, male, female, accents, emotions.. Marsters is a master of vocal range and drama! His narrative performance immerses you into the world of Harry Dresden and all of it’s characters.
I am exceedingly happy that James Marsters lent his voice and talent to the narration of Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files series. Thank you both for your contributions and exceptional works.

Great, but too many characters

Great story and great performance as usual, but this book in participating had too many characters to keep track of.

SO much better than the first three books!

This is the book I was waiting for from this series. I read that the fifth book is where it starts to get really good but I think this one was great.

James Marsters is Harry Dresden!

Jim Butcher has a way of making the fantastic sound very plausible. The stories have mysteries always looming in the background. James Marsters narration is perfect for the Dresden Files. He is Harry Dresden. He also does the perfect impression of all of the other characters in the book. Nothing to over-the-top. This book was excellent in story and character development.

Stong 4+ Stars

Jim & James are consistently enjoyable.
I'm sure one day soon I will find an episode that is weak. But not so far.

F@king Great

Each story so far has beem better than the last.
I loved this book from start to finish.

a fairy tale like no other

this book takes Dresden into the world of the fae. it is as a whole an introductory book explaining who are the fae of Dresden world, what are the capabilities, who leads them and how they effect the mortal world. this is also the first book where Dresden begins to learn a bit more on his allies both relying on them as well as expaninding up them as characters and true friends of Dresden. on top of all this we also get a much stronger glance at the wizards of the world of dresden as well as their power structure. the figure heads introduced in this book will be major guides and allies of Dresden and help him navigate his world as more and more of this world is introduced. Dresden while a powerful wizard in his own right will be shown as not only a small force within the world of magic but a spec in the seer scale of forces at work around him. but it only takes a small amount of force and one good man to make the tip the scales some times.
