Book summary

Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next fantasy adventures have become a worldwide phenomenon, spawning websites, artifacts, and fan clubs. Thursday is back, in this fourth installment of her adventures, and she's pitted against not only St. Zvlkx, who has dropped in from the Middle Ages, but the very contemporary (and very evil) Goliath Corp., which now has ambitions to turn itself into a religion and, on the side, is trying to take over Antarctica and sell penguin meat. To make matters more interesting, Hamlet arrives from Elsinore, upset about the relationship between his mother and his uncle, and hangs around awhile in the guise of Thursday's Cousin Eddie. Meanwhile, Thursday--who is officially on leave from her job in the SpecOps Jurisfiction Department--is trying to care for her toddler son, Friday, and track down her long-missing husband.
