He seems to jump right into this one. I mean he generally opens with a bang (eg Gruff attack in Small Favor) but pretty much zero exposition or scenario setting in the first chapter. I am curious about the headache bit. Spoiler

Turncoat Preview chapters up
Finally, I was getting a bit worried that it was going to get pushed back to July like Dead Beat was. First 2 are up, more in the coming weeks. I plan on going to the book signing he has opening night, it is about 45 minutes from me.

Either way, you are my freakin hero for having posted that. THANK YOU!
Re: Turncoat Preview chapters up
My bet is fallout from the denarii demon and that screwup with his head in White Night. The only thing I can't figure out is why it didn't happen sooner. Big point is...that's the only thing in previous books that have anything to do with his head, and I'm not really willing to bet money on it being a Totally New Feature(TM).Ender wrote:I am curious about the headache bit.

Like Ender, I'm going to be doing my damnedest to get to the release book signing. Too good an oppurtunity to pass up.

Yes, it was used in Harry's duel with Count Ortega and Ivy used it later to do some major ass stomping on the reds in the same book. SpoilerDEATH wrote:SylasGaunt wrote: Spoiler

No, and Jim Butcher has already confirmed that no it wasn't. For one thing, the book portrayal is pretty close to accurate. The TV show, almost painfully generic. Simply a case of borrowing from the same source material.SylasGaunt wrote:Spoiler

Nope. But Jim has clearly figured out ways of torturing Harry and making us fans worry if he's precluded from actually killing Harry.SylasGaunt wrote:Spoiler

PS: I did make it to the book signing. It was a fun event with a good Q & A and a costume contest. A suprisingly strong turn out for the middle of the night in the work week. Still, hung around and got Turn Coat and a couple of other books signed. I was impressed that Jim Butcher was still being a great guy even at the end of a long line rather than just going through on autopilot.
