Fools' Day (Murphy's Lore) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The End of the World is no laughing matter.

There's no better place to spend the day than in Bulfinche's Pub, the bar at the end of the rainbow. That is unless it's April 1st, when the world's tricksters compete for the honor of the Lord High Trickster. No prank is too big or small, and no target is safe. Rather than be trickster fodder, most of the staff and patrons have wisely fled NYC and gone into hiding until the contest is over. This year, a patron named Hex's future self possesses his body in the present, but it's no prank. In mere hours, a Sidhe Queen will seize a Trident missile. After learning that a formerly unknown foreign power has a door into the American heartland and a nuclear warhead, the US military will launch a preemptive first strike. Faerie is destroyed and the survivors escape to Earth. The mystic fallout makes magic twist and darken.

Gods are driven mad. Monsters step from the shadows. World governments crumble. Millions die, including Paddy Moran and Bulfinche's Pub is destroyed. To prevent this future, Hex has come back with a plan to put things right before they go bad. Unfortunately, their divine and mystic friends think it's part of some elaborate trickster prank and won't come out of hiding to help. That leaves a handful of tricksters against the US Air Force, Mab's Faerie Army and the mystic might of rival Faerie king Oberon.
