\"TimI am happy to report I have just pre-ordered my copy of the Subterranean Press<\/a> limited edition of Tim Powers<\/a>‘ new book. (Not the lettered one–I’m a rabid Powers<\/a> fanboy, but not to the tune of $600US. Maybe if they double my salary.)<\/p>\n

Ordering of the book by the general public (I am so a laminate<\/em>, sweetie) will open soon, so watch the Subterranean press<\/a> site. (I got my copy of the Declare<\/a> limited from them as well, and that book sold out long before they printed it. Actually, I have the entire Subterranean Press<\/a> Powers<\/a> output, along with a lot of other Subterranean<\/a> stuff–I probably spend more with them than any of the other small presses I deal with.)<\/p>\n

Here’s the short description of the forthcoming THREE DAYS TO NEVER :<\/p>\n

When 12-year-old Daphne Marrity steals a videotape of Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure from her grandmother’s house, neither she nor her college-professor father, Frank Marrity, have any idea that the theft has drawn the attention of both the Israeli Secret Service and an ancient European organization of occultists — or that within hours they’ll be visited by her long-lost grandfather, who also wants that videotape. <\/p>\n

And when Daphne’s teddy bear is stolen, and a blind assassin nearly kills her father, and a phantom begins to speak to her from a switched-off television set, Daphne and her father find themselves running for their lives through a southern California in which magic and the undead past are dangers as great as the guns of living assassins. <\/p>\n

From ancient prophesies about Israel to the secret lives of Charlie Chaplin and Albert Einstein, this breathtaking novel throws a suburban father and daughter into the midst of an ancient supernatural battle.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
