  <default_description>Koot Parganas has stolen the ghost of Thomas Edison, preserved in a hidden glass vial.  Now he's on the run through the dark underside of Los Angeles, among characters who extend their lives and enhance their power by catching and absorbing the ghosts of the recently dead.  Like The Anubis Gates and On Stranger Tides, this fantasy has an astonishing power that remains long after the last page is turned.</default_description>

It seemed to have all sorts of things going for it that I usually like - strange supernatural/fantasy events taking place within the ordinary real world, and a bunch of different story threads that eventually tie together into a cohesive tale.

    <body><![CDATA[SF. Classic Tim Powers. He takes the world we're familiar with, in this case Los Angeles in the early 90s, adds in some speculation, some science, and even a little fantasy, and suddenly you've got an L.A. filled with ghosts. Some people can see these ghosts, some people hunt them down and suck them...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/39045337">more...</a>]]></body>

The connections between the two seem scant in this book - this one concerns more the history of LA and the ecology of ghosts - but we can see some connections in the character of Loretta de Lara...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76901268">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[An incredibly original ghost story from the best modern fantasy writer out there. It's quirky, funny and suspenseful, dark and yet infused with a sense of magical wonder. Characterization is where Powers really shines, and this novel's ensemble cast contains some of his strangest, most engaging crea...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/8456994">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It was a little slow to read for me, I don't know why. But pretty good. I like the characters and they will be united with the great characters from the first book (Last Call) in the third book (Earthquake Weather). In this book though, I was annoyed by the author alluding to something and then not ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5902519">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Labored and tedious. The surreal veil overlaying the everyday world is too opaque to enjoy peering through. Perhaps I like to have underlying mechanics better explained, very possibly I just don't get along with Powers's writing style, but I struggled to finish this and never really started enjoying...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/10899227">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I found this a much more challenging book then Anubis Gates (by the same author), but well worth sticking at.  It has the same complexity and mix of genres, but is not quite so fluidly and appealingly written.  I would still recommend it.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Not bad, but a bit clunky and pretty depressing. Not his best work by a mile. Worth the read if your a fan, but otherwise I would recommend Declare or even Last Call (The companion novel to this one) over Expiration Date. ]]></body>
