Publisher's summary

Meet Skulduggery Pleasant: detective, sorcerer, warrior.

Oh yes. And dead.

Skulduggery Pleasant is gone, sucked into a parallel dimension overrun by the Faceless Ones. If his bones haven’t already been turned to dust, chances are he’s insane, driven out of his mind by the horror of the ancient gods. There is no official, Sanctuary-approved rescue mission. There is no official plan to save him.

But Valkyrie's never had much time for plans.

The problem is, even if she can get Skulduggery back, there might not be much left for him to return to. There’s a gang of villains bent on destroying the Sanctuary, there are some very powerful people who want Valkyrie dead, and as if all that wasn’t enough it looks very likely that a sorcerer named Darquesse is going to kill the world and everyone on it.

Skulduggery is gone. All our hopes rest with Valkyrie. The world’s weight is on her shoulders, and its fate is in her hands.

These are dark days indeed.

Best one so far

Amazing voice acting and a stellar story, mixed with a minor zombie apocalypse, makes for a great couple of hours.

Great performance and story

I really like the narrator in this book, but in the next book, there is a different narrator and I find him not as good. This is one of my favorite books, and I love when Valkyrie goes to the alternate world and it’s cool that Skulduggery is much more powerful and I think that the revengers club is really cool, I also like all the surprises are really cool.

Worth the Wait!!!

A few mishaps here and there but overall, Rupert Degas still has the best Skulduggery Pleasant voice. Well done!!!
