BOOK REVIEWS
Praise for Expiration Date:
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY SELECTION: BEST BOOKS OF 1996
"There is much humor in the book, some exciting chase scenes, and some beautifully descriptive writing by the author." VOYA
Expiration Date is a minefield of exploding surprises that will have readers convinced that the author has tapped into a more magical reality behind everyday life. Publishers Weekly
Expiration Date is fascinating ... Itll have you turning pages as much for his sheer inventiveness as for the plot ... for the remarkable frisson that sparks from the page, the playfulness of the language. Charles de Lint, The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction
Expiration Date is Tim Powerss darkest book to date, in both its characters and settings, resulting in a complex, fascinating series of potential disasters. But it is also Kooties story, where terror alternates with sheer nuttiness and even (dare we say it?) hope. Locus
Expiration Date is a work of fiction so wickedly rooted in real people, places and events that a lot of readers probably will be hitting the history books and biographies to check out the facts in the novel....This is a must-read book for fans of Powers or anyone looking for a truly different work of fantasy. The Orlando Sentinel
