Tim Powers, THREE DAYS TO NEVER: (Subterranean Press)

Anything from Tim Powers is cause for celebration. His Kim Philby novel, DECLARE,was one of the very few novels I have ever read where I came to the end and I thought, “that was perfect.”

Powers, Three Days to Never (preorder): Subterranean Press: “Three Days to Never
By Tim Powers
(preorder–not yet published)

Illustrated by J.K. Potter

Limited: $80
Lettered: $600

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.
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.
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.

We’re finalizing details with Tim Powers about our edition of Three Days to Never. Nothing’s settled yet, but it looks as though our edition will include a chapbook of Tim’s working notes toward the novel.
We’ll be happy to match numbers on the The Bible Repairman and novel for interested customers”
