First Print, Stated First Edition Hardcover
Let's get something clear right up front.
I'm not Harry Dresden.
Harry's
a wizard. A genuine, honest-to-goodness wizard. He's Gandalf on crack
and an IV of Red Bull, with a big leather coat and a .44 revolver in his
pocket. He'll spit in the eye of gods and demons alike if he thinks it
needs to be done, and to hell with the consequences--and yet somehow my
little brother manages to remain a decent human being.
I'll be damned if I know how.
But then, I'll be damned regardless.
My name is Thomas Raith, and I'm a monster.
So
begins "Backup," a twelve thousand word novelette set in Jim Butcher s
ultra-popular Dresden Files series. This time Harry's in trouble he
knows nothing about, and it's up to his big brother Thomas to track him
down and solve those little life-threatening difficulties without his
little brother even noticing.
