Publisher's summary

My name is Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden. Conjure by it at your own risk. I'm a wizard. I work out of an office in midtown Chicago. As far as I know, I'm the only openly practicing professional wizard in the country. You can find me in the yellow pages, under Wizards. Believe it or not, I'm the only one there.

With rent past due and a decent meal becoming an issue of some importance, Harry needs work, and soon. A call from a distraught wife, and another from Lt. Murphy of the Chicago PD Special Investigation Unit makes Harry believe things are looking up, but they are about to get worse, much worse. Someone is harnessing immense supernatural forces to commit a series of grisly murders. Someone has violated the first law of magic: Thou Shalt Not Kill. Tracking that someone takes Harry into the dangerous underbelly of Chicago, from mobsters to vampires, while he himself is under suspicion of the crimes.

Great Book, and Great Reading

i already knew I loved this book. It's a little pulpy, buta great, interesting story, and makes for a can't-put-down feel. the voice actor did the book credit, I didn't find his voice grating or his mannerisms weird. All in all, very much a credit to Mr. Butcher's story.

Good book, great narrator

A very enjoyable story, a simple little mystery that opens many doors, so I can see why this is such a long-running series. Marsters' narration is excellent, he does the 1st person perfectly and really puts you in the story. Looking forward to the next book.

spellbinding

Would you listen to Storm Front again? Why?

Loved the way it was read!!! you knew that there where different characters speaking by the way the reader changed his voice just a little bit. The emotions and the excitment was all in the voice,, nicely done.

Storm Front

Fun story and humor, great narration. I would have given it a full 5* if it hadn't gotten so verbose. At times it was hard to listen to the details of the present situation when it was obvious that changes were soon to come. From others' reviews it sounds like things improve as you get into the series, so I will listen to the next in line.
