A speculative thought on the next Dresden Files

I just had a really horrible thought, which I've been heartlessly inflicting on the commenters in my last Dresden Files thread.

This book was all about marking a turning point in the series and in Harry's life. I'd been blithely assuming that Harry couldn't possibly be dead, at least not permanently, because he's the narrator. But then I got to wondering -- What if Butcher is planning on switching narrators?

He could do just about anything. The whole next book could be all about Harry's friends putting together a posse to go rescue him from heaven or hell or wherever he ends up*. Or Harry could be dead for good and it could suddenly be Maggie's story. Or ... anything!

Let's have a POLL.

(*Now that I've had this thought, I really want it.)

Oh noooo, what a bummer! That sounds like so much fun. *wishes she lived somewhere on his signing tour*

You know, normally I avoid spoilers like the absolute PLAGUE, and I still don't think I want major book-spoiling spoilers ... but on this one, I think I'm probably gonna be lurking about looking on official sites for hints and clues for MONTHS.
