Welcome to the first episode in our new series, The Geek Embassy Reads! This series is the official book club for the site. We will read a book and then come together to share our thoughts about it.
Storm Front
For the first installment, we read Storm Front by Jim Butcher. This is the first installment of The Dresden Files series.
From the Amazon description:
For Harry Dresden—Chicago’s only professional wizard—business, to put it mildly, stinks. So when the police bring him in to consult on a grisly double murder committed with black magic, Harry’s seeing dollar signs. But where there’s black magic, there’s a black mage behind it. And now that mage knows Harry’s name.
Fanboys
Evan and Dante are both big fans of the series. The excitement they bring to the discussion is pretty endearing. (Even when Dante says that Harry Dresden is the “best” wizard named Harry. Not quite fighting words but close!)
My favorite one-liner from the show, “Nothing ends well that starts with tequila.” You have to check out the episode for the reference.
Until next time, get your geek on!
