1.  We have been told that Nicodemus has a very specific target in mind, ostensibly kept in the Labyrinth of Daedalus.  What is Nic trying to get his hands on and why?
  a.    Cronus’s Scythe in most circles this Scythe was used to dismember Uranus and it is speculated in some cases it helped him to control time.
  b.   Hades’ Helm of Darkness the helm grants the user the gift of absolute invisibility as well in some other myths the ability to resurrect one of the dead.
  c.   I don’t think that it is Pandora’s Box because all that was left in there was hope iirc. However, Nic could “release hope” and damage it as a force for good.

2.   Nicodemus apparently called in a marker from Mab to get Harry on the team.  Does he have a specific plan for using Harry or did Mab twist his request?  Which of Harry's capabilities will he admit to needing, and (given that this is Nicodemus after all), which abilities is he scheming for Harry to use?
  a.   I think that Nic’s request was for help from winter specifically maybe to deal with the Phlegethon (the river of fire) or one of the other 4 rivers in the underworld.

3.  Jim has mentioned that the book will be "Ocean's Eleven".  Who else did Nicodemus recruit?  How will they interact with Harry?
  a.   I am thinking maybe a “lesser” dragon (one not Ferrovax)
  b.   Mavra or maybe one ere (vampire in BR)
  c.   Last guess maybe one of the Fomor.

4.  Harry's general method of operation is to call on his friends for help.  In this book, Harry is (initially) allowed one extra backup member on the crew.  Who will it be?  Which of Harry's other allies will "interfere" before the plot is over?  9/10/13 an interview was published that answers the first half of this question.  (edit:  Sort of)  Those that guessed what he said in that interview (at least partially) have been logged by the curators, but this will probably go down as some kind of extra credit or something, so keep Predictin!  (Edit:  And things might not be binary simple...)-Serack
  a.   The one that Harry will take with him will be Thomas but the rest of team Dresden will be fallowing and lying in wait for the request to be fulfilled to ambush the group

5.  This is a Denarian book, so (unlike the last "end of the world" showdown), the Swords will almost certainly be present.  In fact, there have been various hints...  Which Sword wielders will appear in the next book and how will their interference/help affect the plot?
  a.   I think that Sanya will be there and Fidelacchius welded by Murphy.

6.   Mab is apparently against Nicodemus succeeding in this heist.  In the Cold Days, we found that Mab had complex reasons for wanting Harry to kill Maeve.  What are Mab's reasons in this book?  Is it simple thwarting or is there something deeper?
  a.   Perhaps she partially still blames him for the attack on Arctis Tor by Namshiel or it could be that she just doesn’t want Nic to gain more power.

7.   At the end of Cold Days, Harry needs to stay on the island to keep his growing headaches at bay.  The start of Skin Games implies that those headaches will need to be resolved by the end of the book.  Who or what is causing those headaches, and how will the whole thing get resolved by the end of the book?
  a.   I think it is a spiritual creature summoned into his head by the Black Council and molly will remove it from his  mind and Harry will imprisoned it on Demonreach.

8.  One of the key components of the "Ocean's Eleven" movie is that there is a final twist/reveal.  Given that we've got Nicodemus, Harry, Mab, and potentially Hades (and who knows who else) all trying to get the better of each other, if there's one thing you can count on it's some sort of last minute quintuple-cross.  What will be the nature of the twist and how will it all fall out?
  a.   Harry will manage to imprison one of Nic’s accomplices in Hades’ vault and someone will bring a fake of the thing that they are stealing and skip off with it.

Depending on when the angels were created.  Non Dresden cannon, but I think it isn't until the rise of Christianity that the Fallen are discussed.  So its possible that The Fall from heaven happened within the period of human existence.

So it might be feasible that Lashiel's creation happened after spiders arose.

cant be  Thorned Namshie said he was tjere when our kind was hewn from the muck ( toward the end of SF before eldest bro gruff got to Demonreach ).

very true.  Matters of faith are so completely alien to what he is that he really has no comprehension of most of it.  That part of why I think there is a whole lot more to Soulfire than what Bob told harry it does

right you are Quantus right you are

Let me get this straight the winter night is shot falls into a ice cold lake a few miles from his sanctum which is where a ley line originates  that has a genius loci so strong that it scares some of the white counsel spit less… and not one of his friends goes to see if his body is there? Wow I don’t know how to take that.
