New to Swindon SpecOps Thursday quickly shows that she is not afraid to go where others fear to tread. Unfortunately, she has to deal with Jack Schitt from Goliath Corporation’s Advanced Weapons Division, who also wants to find Hades for his own nefarious purposes. Thursday is determined to prove that Hades is still alive, and she wants to be the one who brings him to justice. Swindon is Thursday’s hometown and holds some very painful memories for her. Wracked with guilt and on the advice from her future self, Thursday leaves town and takes a job with the Swindon branch of SO-27. Once Thursday begins to recover she must deal with the backlash and the news that Hades died after a chase by SO-14 officers. Thursday is shot and left for dead, but fortunately a mysterious stranger keeps her alive until help arrives. Hades senses them coming and the mission ends in disaster. Thursday decides to go in and ends up taking Tamworth with her as well. Thursday is on stakeout with agents Snood and Buckworth when Hades arrives at his brother’s apartment to retrieve the missing manuscript. He is also able to hypnotize people and to appear as other people.

Hades is impervious to any weapon and his image does not show up on any photograph or video recording. Acheron Hades has mysterious powers, which make him difficult to capture and his lack of morals make him extremely dangerous. He is suspected of stealing an original Martin Chuzzlewit manuscript. He was an English lecturer during her university days and she was able to resist his mysterious charms. Thursday is one of the few people who know what Hades looks like. Needless to say, she jumps at the chance to accept a temporary assignment with SpecOps 5.įillip Tamworth recruits Thursday Next temporarily to help him capture the master criminal Acheron Hades.

Thursday is good at her job, but her time is mostly spent authenticating manuscripts. Baconians go door to door trying to convince citizens that Francis Bacon is the true author of Shakespeare’s plays. People have strong feelings regarding literature in Thursday’s time. She is an operative with SpecOps 27, also known as Litera Tec. Thursday fought in the Crimea in the 1970’s and the bad memories haunt her. The Crimean War has been going on for 131 years. In an alternate reality, Thursday Next lives in 1985 London with her genetically cloned dodo, Pickwick. We are thankful for their contributions and encourage you to make your own.
