The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare

The enduring classic, now with updated language for today's reader...

Gabriel Syme, poet-turned-detective, infiltrates a secret meeting of anarchists in an attempt to discover their plans of terrorism. But when Syme is elected "Thursday"Ñone of seven members of the Central Anarchist CouncilÑthe real nightmare begins. These anarchists are not just scheming to overthrow the government; they're planning to destroy the world.

From philosopher policemen to advocating anarchists, Smye discovers that he's not the only one who isn't what he seems . . . including the grand Sunday himself.
