Derek Landy reads chapter one of Skulduggery Pleasant: Last Stand of Dead Men [14/06/13]

SEE BELOW FOR MISSING SECTION

In this video, children's author Derek Landy reads the first chapter of his newest novel, due out on August 29th, "Last Stand of Dead Men". I am SO sorry for where I had to stop and start again - my camera ran out of memory due to the files being in HD!

THE MISSING SECTION (thanks to @MoonieBalloonie on Twitter for transcribing):

who tried to kill who. My days are devoted to my granddaughter and my nights are spent making multiple trips to the toilet. I don't have time for anyone's grandson."
"The Warlock is someone's grandson?"
"I never said that."
"Actually, you sort of did."
"Oh, I see. You're one of those, are you? You like to play around with words to get to something out of me? Well, it's not going to work. With age comes wisdom, have you ever heard of that?"
"I did. But I've found that wisdom has a high point around a hundred and twenty years. Once you reach that, you're really wise as you're going to get."
"I'm wise enough to say nothing more on the subject."
"So you know I'm telling the truth."
"I didn't say that!"
"The Warlock you spoke of had been hired by the Necromancers to kill. He said he owed them a favor. Why?"
"Why does anyone do anything?"
"What did the Necromancers do for the Warlock? Did they give him something?
