![]() ![]() ![]() “Butcher’s tales meld the wonder and fun of the Harry Potter series, but with an adult tone and attitude. They are told in first person narrative by the human wizard and private investigator Harry Dresden, who tells of his investigations into supernatural disturbances in modern-day Chicago. No plans have been announced for subsequent omnibuses. The Dresden Files is a contemporary urban fantasy series of novels by author Jim Butcher. ![]() ![]() Butcher had initially planned to write 20 installments of the series, with a big finale trilogy that ended everything. The Science Fiction Book Club has gathered many of the Dresden books into hardcover omnibuses: Storm Front, Fool Moon, and Grave Peril are collected in Wizard for Hire Summer Knight and Death Masks are in Wizard By Trade Blood Rites and Dead Beat are in Wizard at Large and Proven Guilty and White Night make up Wizard Under Fire. The additional book will change the number of case files. The series is slated to run 23-24 books: 20-21 “case books” like we’ve seen so far, capped by a Big Apocalyptic Trilogy, because who doesn’t love apocalyptic trilogies? Book 16, Peace Talks, hits stores July 14th, 2020, coincident with the series’ 20th anniversary. The Dresden Files are Jim’s first published series, telling the story of Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden, Chicago’s first (and only) Wizard P.I. ![]()
