Soon he finds himself pinned between trigger-happy FBI agents, shape-shifiting motorcycle gang members, a threatened mobster boss, and an heir to an ancient curse along with his primal fiance.

"One of the best books I've read in a long time!"
I first discovered The Dresden Files series on NetFlix and was instantly hooked. I was nervous about reading Jim Butcher's books after seeing the series, worrying that my preconceptions and possible knowledge of plotlines might take away from the experience, but there's so much more to the characters and stories that I didn't even think of the TV series as I listened. Wonderful characters, wonderful stories, wonderful prose. I liked Marster's narration better in the second book. In fact, as much as I loved the first book, I found the second far more enjoyable, suspenseful, and thought provoking.
"I'm liking Harry more and more"
I was looking for another engaging series to try after reading all of Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse books and found Jim Butcher's books.
Harry Dresden, a wizard/detective in Chicago, is a very quirky, compelling main character who gets himself in one unbelievable predicament after another. I found the writing style of this second Dresden book to be decidedly improved from the first (Storm Front). Although there is still some hackneyed detective-genre prose to make me cringe at times, I am won over by Jim Butcher's talent for painting these characters, creating an intriguing paranormal universe, and some twisty-turny storylines that keep you guessing.
Fool Moon (nice pun, BTW) is about Harry's search to discover the source of a recent spate of killings, presumably by a werewolf. You will learn more about the different flavors of werewolf than you ever thought you wanted to know, and how they kill their prey (warning: not for the squeamish!)
I'm going to download the rest of the Dresden series because I just have to know what happens next to Harry and how he'll get out of it!
My taste differs from kid books to gory horror books.
This is a popular series about a likeable character. HELL'S BELLS there is a lot of action. Some have said they like this better then the first book. NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO THERE YOU ARE. I liked the first book better. I don't feel it is important what order you read these in. You will not be lost or anything. It is obvious that Butcher is an intelligent writer and it shows. This story started pretty good, but as it went on, I felt it dragged. I usually don't like lectures in my stories and in this you kind of get werewolves 101, I actually enjoyed learning about the three different types of werewolves. If you have listened to any of the other books in this series and you liked them, then I believe you will like this.
This narrator might be ok in small doses, but if you listen for several hours in a row, his bland voice can get on your nerves.

"Another great novel of the Dresden Files"
This novel is a turning point in the series. It is the second book in the Dresden Files and paves a strong foundation for turning a fairly light fantasy series into a substantial series with characters that live and breath. Murphy and Dresden begin to define the kind of friendship that will blossom into something very special.
Harry becomes something a bit more than just a brooding wizard as he begins to realize his responsibilities not just to trying to make a living but to his friends and his community of wizards.
James Marsten continues his excellent talent of reading these books and I disagree with a previous review that his delivery was shaky. His performance was stronger than the first book, Storm Front, and it continues to get better through the rest of the series.
I hope Audible gets all of the series. You should, too!

"Werewolves, lycantropes, hexenwolves & loup-garou!"
I enjoyed this installment more than book 1; the narration was much improved, it had chapters (I need order in my reads), and the story showcased countless different types of werewolves. The cast of secondary characters were wonderful as was Dresden's POV. The author's dark humour is catchy, and the action sequences were heart-stopping, especially the one in the police station. Whoa Nelly!
"Howling entertainment"
With all the undead books out there it was surprising to find a werewolf story that is actually original. Lots of suspense and lots of laughs mixed together - very enjoyable detective story fun. Some adult content, tastefully written, but not for pre-teens.
"Pretty good story line but poor reader"
Well I liked the story enough to put up with the reader's constant deep breaths and swallowing sounds..As soon as I would get engaged in the story, he would do something to remind me yet again that he was the reader and not the character...you can even hear him swallow every few minutes!
new reader please
"Done with Mr. Dresden"
I have to admit I came into The Dresden Files expecting something really great but in the end it really just isn't for me. Dresden is a bit of an ass and spends most of the book in an emo mess of self loathing about how everything wouldn't be so screwed up if he was just able to figure out the convoluted mystery sooner.
Then there is Karrin Murphy. Ms. Murphy is far to quick to just assume Dresden is an evil, murdering, bastard when in truth he is just a crappy friend who can't just tell her what is actually going on which is what she is paying him to do.
Oh and lets not forget Mr. Masters. The breathing, oh the breathing. Why in the world did the editor allow all of the damn breathing and swallowing to stay in the book? Don't get me wrong, it isn't half as bad as the first book but it really pulled me out of the story. At least the production value for this book was a bit better than the first because it didn't sound like a bootleg of a 1950s radio program.
Alas, I have to say that I really don't think I am going to continue the Dresden Files. I had high hopes but it really just seems like a chore to continue with the series. It isn't the worst thing in the world and I fully understand that a lot of people really love the series but it's just not for me.
"Reasonably good book, poor performance"
After enjoying the Codex Alera series, I hoped that I was going to enjoy the Dresden Files. Unfortunately, I can't say that I have, and I'm not going to buy any more of the books in this series. In fairness to the author, my primary issue with the books is the reader. Maybe I have been spoiled by George Guidall, Kate Reading, and others, but Marsters' narration is so distracting that it keeps me from appreciating the author's work. That having been said, I can only rate the book itself as good, as opposed to very good or excellent. Some of the things that the characters do are simply implausible. Granted this is a book series about a wizard, but still, the actions of the people in the book need to be consistent with human nature. For example, an FBI agent would not draw her gun and try to kill a police lieutenant simply because they had gotten into a tussle. So, net-net, the first two books were disappointing.
"Pity Party"
Dresden's moaning. He goes on about how its all his fault that other people have died. He is also on his last leg, yet has energy to save the day one more time. I think Butcher pushed it in this book.
Possibly, but if its another pity party - count me out of the Dresden series.
Nothing comes to mind
No, because it would involve more self pity.
"great story, great narration"
Tremendous stuff - though if you are contemplating buying this as your first "Harry Dresden" book, it is important to read the series in order - get "Storm Front" first!
So what's the series about? Science Fantasy meets detective noir, with lots of action, terrific narrative drive, great characters, quirky dialogue, humour - what more can I say?
Perfectly suited for an audiobook as the story is told by the main character, and James Marsters (Spike in TV's Buffy the Vampire Slayer)brings Harry Dresden splendidly to life and captures Jim Butcher'style to perfection.
Strongly recommended.
"Something went wrong here."
I've listened to several of Jim Butcher's audio books and really love this series but if I'm being totally honest, you could probably skip this one if you wanted. There is no character progression here, only an idiot claiming to be a detective would miss really important clues or walk into dangerous situations completely unprepared, the way Dresden does in this one. After how well the first story was written, I was left really disappointed.
There are three reasons why you may want to stick with it. While Harry doesn't exactly experience much in the way of personal growth in this story, there are several important developments with his relationships. James Masters is brilliant as always, drawing you in without you even realizing it. His acting ability really brings the characters to life and gives a performance where many narrators provide only a recital. Lastly, the first novel is a really enjoyable listen, I would rate the next novel as five star, so if your expectations aren't too high, you should still enjoy this book as part of the series.
"Easy listening"
I think I preferred this to book one in the series. Harry's character is definitely gaining some depth, and the story seemed to just gel better than in book one. I understand from other reviewers that the series improves as it goes on.
James Marsters' narration is excellent. Although he doesn't really do different voices for different characters, his presentation is such that you have no doubt as to who is speaking. His voice is very easy to listen to, and his tone, emphasis and ability to impart the character's state of being really adds to the overall enjoyment of this book.
Enjoyed it enough to give the next book in the series a chance....off to download that one now.
"A great purchase"
Excellent reading as always - I could listen to this reader read the phone book out, as he has a lovely voice. He makes an average set of books well worth listening to, and I stick entirely to audio nowadays for this series. Definitely among my favourite purchases.
"A great listen"
A very hard thing to do... Werewolves, Wizards and Mystery.
Obviously, It's Harry... but then it's all about Harry :) But my favourite character is Karrin Murphy, but that's based on the story arc [I'm up to Book 14 Cold Days]. In this she still doesn't 'get' Harry entirely and she's learning about what really lurks in the shadows and how to be taken seriously.
I am biased and I have listened to all 12 of the Harry Dresden audiobooks available on audible and so think James Marsters reading is pretty darn good. I watched him on Buffy, Superman and a few other places he has appeared over the years as well. He gets the tone of the book right, Film Noir twisted with Urban Fantasy. He also makes a good attempt at voicing the characters well, Bob and Harry being particular high notes.
I did laugh quite a bit at Harry, he has a way of getting into scrapes and trying to be the hero and chivalrous all in one.
I have read all of the Harry Dresden books and love having them in audio, being able to listen when it suits me is brilliant. I'm on my third round of listening to these books and it's amazing the things I just didn't pick up on before, paths that Harry will be led down in the distant future. Jim does an excellent job writing these books with such detail and care. I just can't wait now for audible to get Ghost Story and Cold Days in audio format now.
"Excellent series of books"
How to explain? Imagine private eye Philip Marlowe in the Big Sleep and then substitute wizard Harry Dreseden, For the bad guys you have supernatural beasts like Werewolves and Daemons. The narrative of James Masters brings the rough around the edges character of Dresden to life. and the fast paced writing of Jim Butcher keeps your interest in the story. Excellent books, difficult to stop listening - trouble is they're using up all my Audible credits!
"Huge Fan"
Fantastic book and James Masters IS the voice of Harry Dresden... Can I have some more please?
"Good series"
The reading mp by Marsters is good n this book, noticed a few quirks in the book that I didn't when I read it a few years back, albeit I've read the complete series & maybe look at it slightly differently now. If you like science fiction or fantasy books this is a must read...after Storm Front of course. It's a good book & a great series
"An Excellent Urban Fantasy Book"
The second book in the Dresden Files. It's still not quite perfect but the series really starts to find it's feet here and as I've said before James Marsters is perfect as Harry.
This book introduces a few new characters who become very important throughout the series and it's spin offs (one of them is the author of the roleplaying game) and helps to strengthen relationships between characters we already know.
Although not one of my favourite in the series there are a few particular scenes that really define the series and certain characters for the future - the police station scene for one as well as the scene in the pit with Marcone both spring to mind.
"An interesting look at werewolves..."
While I really like the Dresden books, and am working my way through the entire series, this one is definitely a stand-out for the sheer amount of research that Jim Butcher must have done on the various legends of werewolves
Not only does he mention the various types of were-creations, but he lists the differences, how they could get their power, and their advantages and dis-advantages - for a listener who knows something about were-wolves, this was a REALLY interesting read, although it does get very complicated at times
I'm a fan of Butcher's writing, and this is definitely a stand-out for anyone who loves the magic back-drop and the fantasy parts with the were-creatures - it's a pity that he doesn't include other weres in the detail of the story, as that would leave doors open to later were-related side-stories later on
A great listen for Dresden fans, and a good bit of information thrown in to make you think!

More Ag News
Deb Fischer has a political ad stating she supports elimination of Obamacare and replace it with a fair market system. This fair market system is basically a system where the insurance companies are in the drivers-seat dictating your coverage while denying or capping some services.
Disease, severe sickness and disability are not compatible with a commitment from a fair market system that distributes resources inefficiently. Obamacare rightfully closes the gap of opportunity that provides adequate care allowing for personal confidence and reduces the fear of economic hardship.
There are objections of universal coverage on the grounds of cost, intrusion into freedom of choice and a demand for more individual responsibility, among other reasons. However, many of those raising these objections in fact already support another system that has many parallels to universal health insurance coverage: universal education.
It is the right of all Americans to obtain a basic education. One cannot simply opt out of being educated, because we consider it, as a matter of utility, too important to have an educated populace. Clearly a well educated society confers advantages in job competitiveness and earning potential.
It is now time to realize our social and moral obligation at making access to healthcare a Right as most western civilizations have done. It does not take much of an education to see that leaving 45-50 million Americans without adequate health insurance makes no sense.
Deb Fischer has it all wrong when she thinks a fair market system will resolve the hardship of the severely ill. Obviously her message is representing the insurance companies and not the voice of Nebraskans.

FREEZE FRAME: THE ASSEMBLED PARTIES' Judith Light, Jessica Hecht & More Meet the Press
Manhattan Theatre Club presents the world premiere production of Richard Greenberg's The Assembled Parties. Directed by MTC's award-winning Artistic Director Lynne Meadow, the cast features Tony nominee Jessica Hecht, Tony and Emmy Award winner Judith Light, Tony Award nominee Jeremy Shamos, Obie Award winner Mark Blum, Lauren Blumenfeld (We Are Proud to Present...), Alex Dreier (Billy Elliot), Jake Silbermann ("As The World Turns"), and Jonathan Walker (The Divine Sister). The limited engagement of The Assembled Parties will begin previews Thursday, March 21, 2013 and open Wednesday, April 17, 2013 at MTC's Samuel J. Friedman Theatre (261 West 47th Street).
The cast and creative team met the press earlier today and you can check out a photo preview below!
THE ASSEMBLED PARTIES welcomes us to the world of the Bascovs, an Upper West Side Jewish family in 1980. In a sprawling Central Park West apartment, former movie star Julie Bascov (Tony Award nominee Jessica Hecht) and her sister-in-law Faye (Tony and Emmy Award winner Judith Light) bring their families together for their traditional holiday dinner. But tonight, things are not usual. A house guest (Tony nominee Jeremy Shamos) has joined the festivities for the first time and he unwittingly - or perhaps by design - insinuates himself into the family drama. Twenty years later, as 2001 approaches, the Bascovs' seemingly picture-perfect life may be about to crumble. A stunning new play infused with humor, The Assembled Parties is an incisive portrait of a family grasping for stability at the dawn of a new millennium.
Tickets for The Assembled Parties are available by calling Telecharge at 212-239-6200, online by visiting www.Telecharge.com, or by visiting the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre Box Office (261 West 47th Street). Ticket prices are $67 - $120.Photo Credit: Walter McBride

With ink dry on extension, Burton grateful for health
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Reliever Jared Burton said Tuesday that he's entering the season without any health restrictions and is grateful for the two-year extension he signed with the Twins this offseason.
The Twins were cautious with Burton last year, as the right-hander was coming off shoulder surgery from the year before while he was with the Reds. They tried to keep away from using him in back-to-back appearances early in the season to ease him into the year.
But Burton, who was signed to a Minor League deal before last season, ended up impressing the Twins by posting a 2.18 ERA in a career-high 62 innings. And he was rewarded with a two-year extension worth $5.5 million this offseason that includes an option for '15.
"It was real nice," Burton said. "I had some bumps in the road, health-wise, in Cincinnati, but to keep working and see it all pay off and be part of this organization for a couple more years is a good thing."
Burton is expected to be the club's top setup reliever this season behind left-handed closer Glen Perkins. He's already throwing bullpen sessions in Fort Myers and said he's feels stronger than at this point last year.
"Health-wise and strength-wise, I'm right where I need to be," Burton said. "I'm anxious to get going."

While waiting in line for coffee, a 40s-something suit, driving a Mercedes, stepped into the line ahead of us. Your status or presumed one does not entitle you to think you are better than others waiting. Fortunately, my wife moved in front of you and, with your lack of patience, you left.
Congratulations to pollster Nate Silver, who was the target of anti-statistics and anti-gay derision of Republicans, such as Joe Scarborough, Jonah Goldberg and Rush Limbaugh, for proving them all wrong by correctly predicting the presidential election results for all 50 states (including a virtual tie in Florida).
Dear 40s-something male shopper in … (a local retailer) on (a recent) Sunday morning: Having your cart block the aisle while you block the other half while shopping is not acceptable. While I said excuse me twice, you seemed to feel you were being bothered. Try to remember you do not control the store and have a better day.
By the way. Where is the mighty Donald Trump during the tragedy on the East Coast? … Surely he can see the damage from the top of his ivory tower.
To the teenage brother and sister who went with mom to the grocery: Grow up or stay home! You bothered every shopper chasing each other, slapping and kicking at each other. I had to take cover!
Smart people question the status quo and challenge authority in an intellectual way.
The drug war seems to really be working. If, by working, you mean gifting billions of dollars to murderous criminal organizations.
Whose bright idea was it to have a large fire on the edge of the parking lot on election day at my polling place, St. Mark's church? The smoke engulfed the parking lot and left my car and clothes smelling terrible. Add in the very poor lighting in the voting machine area, and maybe it's time to consider moving the polling location.
As I sat at the intersection of Crescent Avenue/Coliseum Boulevard, I watched a car blow through the red light. What surprised me was the police car in front of me did nothing! Hey officer, did you have a blindfold on! Police officers need to get serious about ticketing red-light runners, as well as texting and driving.

The same musical trio who gave us "I'm Farming and I Grow it" and "Farmer Style" are at it again, but this time they are using less music and more experience to educate consumers.
A new video series created by the same musical trio who gave us "I'm a Farmer and I Grow it" and "Farming Style" shows consumers that farmers do more than drive tractors all day.
In their first video of their new "Life of a Farmer" series, the brothers take the audience on what it takes to keep their fields and cows happy. From feeding cows, spreading manure and caring for sick cows, work on the farm is never done.
They also discuss why college is necessary for future farmers.
Click on the video above to watch the first video on the series. Another video is expected in February.
While its popularity may pale in comparison to their hit music parodies, the video does help educate consumers. Many comments left for the video support not only the Peterson brothers but also for the farmers who feed them.

Dear Sons and Daughters, Members of Youth for the Third
Millennium and Missionary Families for the Third Millennium of Regnum
Christi:As you gather together having concluded a wonderful mission within
the outskirts of the great cities and amongst the indigenous
mountain villages of our dearly beloved Mexico, I cordially greet
you in the peace of God our Father and of
Christ Jesus, our Lord (1 Tm 1: 2).With your efforts
you have chosen to bring the Gospel to every man
and woman, announcing salvation through the joyful spreading of the
Word, the happiness of brotherly solidarity common to Jesus disciples
and the enthusiastic testimony of your faith. You have wished
to imitate our Lord, visiting cities and towns, teaching, proclaiming
the Good News of the Kingdom, bringing hope and consolation
to those who are weak (cf. Mat 9: 35).Your Mexican
lands have been blessed with a rich and profound Christian
tradition and hold great promise, especially for you, my dear
young people, who will have to continue spreading, strengthening and
bravely defending your faith amidst the dark threats that would
like to place your faith and gospel values in peril.
This was the invitation that I made to you in
my first visit to Mexico in 1979 and I would
like to repeat it to you anew: My dear young
people, dedicate yourselves in a profoundly human and Christian manner
to things that merit effort, detachment and generosity! The Church
has great hope in you and trusts in you! (Discourse
to Students 30 January 1979).Today the world needs a New
Evangelization that relies on your spiritual testimony and the generosity
of your youth, so that no door will be closed
to Christ and so that everyone can come to know
him as our true happiness, the source of our hope
and the cause of our salvation. Our world needs Christ
more than anyone else, men, women, families, children, the elderly,
the sick, the strong and the weak, we all need
him.Our paths, like that of our Lords, will not be
easy. But once again I say to you: Do not
be afraid! Following Christs steps, he who is the
Way, our feet will not stumble (cf. Psalm 17/16, 3).
Do not be discouraged! He never abandons us and we
know in whom we have placed our trust (cf. 2
Tm 1: 12). Be faithful! Do not be seduced by
the false claims of those who do not have and
cannot give. Keep your eyes fixed on the Lord, who
always remembers those who follow him with fidelity and prudence
(cf. Mt. 25: 23). United to Christ and under the
maternal protection of the Blessed Virgin, our Lady of Guadalupe,
continue with your Christian testimony, in your service to the
Church and your missionary commitment. With these sentiments I affectionatle
bestow my Apostolic Blessing.Vatican, 7 May 1996

Unable to secure an invitation to address NBA players directly at All-Star Weekend in Houston, embattled union executive director Billy Hunter has released online his response to a report that criticized his leadership.
It's part of an offensive that Hunter and his representatives are launching over the coming days in an effort to save his job, USA Today reported.
"Many NBPA members have a vital interest in hearing from Mr. Hunter," according to the online response to the investigation's findings.
Hunter's lawyers say his 2010 contract extension was valid and the leave of absence he has been placed on is not. They say if ratification of his contract had been needed, it was president Derek Fisher's responsibility to get it, not Hunter's.
Hunter's contract was a central part of a highly critical independent report conducted by the law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP and released last month. The report urged players to discuss Hunter's future this weekend and said they had "powerful arguments" that the contract wouldn't be legal if an attempt to remove Hunter led to litigation.
With his future as head of the union at stake, Hunter needs to convince players that the information detailed in the report is either not damaging enough to remove him from his position or he must prove that the information in the report is incorrect or misleading.
The report, based on the law firm's review of financial records, interviews and emails, questioned Hunter's leadership and union's business dealings.
On Thursday, the law firm released a statement saying that while Hunter did not engage in any criminal acts, his "actions were inconsistent with his fiduciary obligations to put the interests of the Union above his personal interests, and that Mr. Hunter did not properly manage conflicts of interest."
One of Hunter's attorneys told USA Today that Hunter did not do anything wrong according to union bylaws.
Players will meet Saturday to discuss Hunter's future and perhaps vote to determine whether they'll part ways with Hunter, who was placed on administrative leave Feb. 1.
Fisher has sent an email to all players inviting them to attend the meeting Saturday at which the union is expected to conduct elections to fill vacant seats on its executive committee and then move on to deciding Hunter's future.

In 1999, Charles Dunlop passed up graduate school to launch a genetic testing company. He was acting on the advice of his father, who had told him, "The money is now." It was indeed a year of easy money for most any tech company. In short order, by pitching his idea to friends and family, Dunlop raised enough to get started.
He installed his fledgling company, Ambry Genetics, on the second floor of a commercial building in Costa Mesa. It was across the courtyard from Condom Revolution, a sex shop, and directly above a Harley-Davidson shop. Rough-looking bikers would congregate below and smoke cigarettes, sometimes scaring off the clients of Dunlop's rather incongruous business.
Ambry's first test was for cystic fibrosis, a life-threatening lung disease. To spread the word about his new business, Dunlop and his brother offered physicians one free test. The next day, patient samples started pouring in.
"I realized that if I could get those samples in and out of the lab, I'd have a profitable business," Dunlop recalled.
Today, he says he's achieved that goal. What he couldn't have suspected was that the company would become a central player in a legal battle spawned by a landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling.
From its humble beginnings, Ambry – named after Dunlop's family dog – has grown to some 200 employees who now occupy a glistening state-of-the-art building in a high-tech industrial park in Aliso Viejo. The company conducts about 300 genetic tests for a wide range of diseases, including several cancers. It also offers a $15,000 test that can discover rare genetic diseases by analyzing all 20,000 genes in a patient's genome, comparing them to known mutations and to the DNA of family members.
During a recent interview, Dunlop declined to discuss the financials of Ambry, which is privately held, except to say that it has been profitable since 2002, he and his family have a majority stake in it, and employees own about 10 percent to 15 percent.
Dunlop, sporting a short-sleeve blue polo shirt, beige shorts and flip-flops, projected an image of insouciance more befitting a surfer than a chief executive. Among expressions like "awesome," "gnarly" and "pretty rad," however, he displayed a keen grasp of the elusive scientific concepts at the heart of his business.
He also acknowledged he was under pressure following a recent high court ruling that roiled the world of commercial genomics and gave a huge boost to Ambry's prospects, now threatened by a countervailing lawsuit.
The court's unanimous June 13 decision outlawing patents on human DNA ended a monopoly enjoyed for two decades by Utah-based Myriad Genetics on two genes known as BRCA1 and BRCA2. The genes, when mutated, are predictors of an elevated risk for breast cancer, and they are the basis for a test frequently administered to women worried about having a propensity for the disease.
Ambry wasted no time after the ruling, quickly announcing it would incorporate the BRCA genes into its breast-cancer test and would charge little more than half of what Myriad did. Other companies followed suit, undercutting Myriad by even more.
Myriad has built its business largely on the exclusivity of the BRCA tests, which account for about 80 percent of its nearly $600 million in annual revenue. No wonder the Salt Lake City company, with a market capitalization of $2.5 billion, is now suing Ambry and another testing lab, Houston-based Gene By Gene.
Myriad argues Ambry is infringing on 10 patents that were not invalidated by the Supreme Court. They cover both synthetic DNA and methods of testing, which the nine justices said could still be patented.
"We believe we have a strong case," Myriad spokesman Ronald Rogers said. The company is seeking a court order that would prohibit Ambry and Gene By Gene – and possibly several others not named in the suit – from selling BRCA tests.
Dunlop says Ambry does not use synthetic DNA "in any of its diagnostic offerings, including BRCA1 and BRCA2," and therefore it is not violating any patents that cover it. With regard to Myriad's patent rights on testing methods, the Ambry chief points to the opinions of some observers who say the Utah company is inappropriately claiming ownership of conventional laboratory techniques and that its claims are functionally equivalent to patents on the genes themselves.
Financial analysts who follow the genomic industry are split about the strength of Myriad's case.
"Given (its) significant balance sheet and the validity of existing patents around the various (synthetic) DNA and method-based claims, we believe Myriad has the dry powder and legal standing to aggressively pursue any competitor infringing on their intellectual property," wrote Drew Jones, an analyst at Stephens Inc. in Little Rock, Ark.
Brandon Couillard, a senior equities analyst at Jefferies LLC, said, "It sounds like Myriad has a case, but it is unclear how strong it is or how enforceable it is." He said the Utah company is probably going after Ambry and Gene By Gene to try "to scare others in this space from similar tactics."
For many companies, "Ambry included, this would be a significant opportunity in an area that is one of the most popular diagnostic tests out there," Couillard said.
That explains Dunlop's anxiety about the Myriad lawsuit, which is clearly a threat to the kind of triple-digit growth the high court ruling has put so tantalizingly within reach.
He projects the addition of the BRCA to Ambry's testing menu will eventually double the company's revenue. It is already gearing up to accommodate the expected growth, with plans to add 50 employees by mid-August.
In Dunlop's view, the implications of Myriad's case far transcend the mere specifics of BRCA testing. If Myriad wins the case, he said, "It would effectively limit the reach of the Supreme Court's decision." And that, he said, would stifle innovation.
"To be the best lab scientists we can be, we need to be able to operate freely and go after the genes we think are most applicable to diseases," Dunlop said. "If we are constantly looking over our shoulder wondering what genes are patented, we'll never be able to move forward."

Research could help stop lupus flares before they start
Source: Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation
A new discovery from scientists at OMRF could be used by physicians to predict and prevent lupus flares…Patients are often not aware when a disease flare is about to occur. This delays treatment and allows inflammation to persist, putting patients at risk for organ damage.
"We're often reacting to a bad situation in the clinic, rather than preventing the next one," said Judith James, M.D., Ph.D., head of OMRF's Arthritis and Clinical Immunology Research Program. "With this research, we hope we can identify the patients at the highest risk of flare and intervene earlier."
In a new paper which will be published in the July issue of the journal Arthritis & Rheumatology, James and OMRF scientist Melissa Munroe, M.D., Ph.D., describe how a study of patients receiving an influenza vaccine led to a method that might predict flares in a clinical setting….The discovery will help physicians move closer to tailored therapies for patients, but it could also have a potential benefit for clinical trials, she said. One challenge in testing new medications for lupus is discerning if a lack of disease activity is due to a drug's effects or other factors.

Nintendo now expects to sell 4m Wii U units by the end of the current financial year. That's down from its previous 5.5m unit sales forecast.
It has also lowered its projected 3DS sales from 17.5m to 15m units.
The company also revealed that lifetime Wii U sales now stand at 3.06m units. 3DS sales have reached 29.84m units. Software sales for the two consoles stand at 11.69m and 84.99m units respectively.
The numbers show that sales of the Wii U outside of Japan and America have hit 900k. Japanese sales stand at 830k whilst American sales have hit 1.32m
A host of other forecasts have also been cut for the financial year ending March 31st 2013. Predicted net sales have been cut ¥140,000m to ¥670,000m. Operating income expectations have been lowered ¥40,000m to a ¥20,000m loss although net income expectations have climbed ¥10,000m to ¥20,000m.
Nintendo said these modifications "reflect a lower-than-expected sales outlook based on the sales performance in the year-end sales season and afterwards.
For the three months ending December 31st Nintendo enjoyed higher than expected sales of 3DS hardware and software, up 11 per cent and 41 per cent year-on-year. However, these gains were not enough to compensate for sharp declines in Wii and DS sales.
If nothing else though, the company has at least returned to profitability.
Net sales for the period reached ¥543,033m, down from ¥556,166m in the same period a year before. Operating losses fell from ¥16,408m last year to ¥5,857m.
Last year's ¥48,351 net loss has been reversed to a ¥14,545m profit.
The company claims to have a "cavalcade of strong, fan-favourite software titles for both Wii U and 3DS" on the way in 2013 that "will help Nintendo regain momentum for Wii U".
