Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. A heart-stopping supernatural adventure from one of fantasy fiction's most original talents--back in print Ghosts can be caught, and bottled, and sold by covert dealers to addicts who inhale the things--and when a young boy named Kootie accidentally inhales the ghost of Thomas Edison, he finds that all the factions of Los Angeles' occult underground are after him, determined to kill him and get Edison's powerful ghost for themselves. Aided by Edison's confused and irascible ghost, Kootie flees--and finds himself dodging perils natural and supernatural in the gritty alleys and trainyards of a Los Angeles that tourists never see. From the slums around the L.A. River, to the abandoned Houdini mansion in the Hollywood Hills, to a final dramatic confrontation on the haunted ocean liner Queen Mary docked in Long Beach, Expiration Date is a heart-stopping supernatural adventure from one of fantasy fiction's most original talents.

If you read this book you can really see where Guybrush and LeChuck were -plagiarized- derived from, plus the heavy influence of voodoo in the game. . . . the book] had a lot of what made fantasy interesting . . .--legendary game designer Ron Gilbert Powers's strengths are] his originality, his action-crammed plots, and his ventures into the mysterious, dark, and supernatural.--Los Angeles Times Book Review Powers' work delivers] an intense and intimate sense of period or realization of milieu; taut plotting, with human development and destiny . . . and, looming above all, an awareness of history itself as a merciless turning of supernatural wheels. . . . Powers' descriptions . . . are breathtaking, sublimely precise . . . his status as one of fantasy's major stylists can no longer be in doubt.--SF Site. Artikel-Nr. 00109334197
