Three Days to Never

[daddytodd]

Last Thursday, the postman delivered my signed/limited edition Subterranean Press copy (#155 of 474) of Tim Powers's new novel, Three Days to Never. It's only been 6 YEARS since his last novel, Declare came out, so I was really looking forward to this one.

Surprisingly, I've only read 78 pages so far. But it was a very busy weekend, and I had a ton o' shit going on. I'm planning on retiring to the bedroom in a few and see if I can get another couple chapters read before I go to bed.

Tim Powers is, IMHO, the best fantasy writer working in the English language (Garcia Marquez may be a better fantasy writer than Powers, but only just barely.) I'm impressed with the early chapters. I'll post more about it when I've finished the book.

I love Powers! I hadn't heard about Declare. I'll have to snag a copy from someplace. Thanks for the heads-up!

Declare is Tim's best book since his masterpiece, Last Call. I re-read Declare about once a year, and every time it blows the back of my head off. I've probably given away a dozen copies. If you like Powers, you should love Declare.
