“Philip K. Dick felt that one day Tim Powers would be one of our greatest fantasy writers. Phil was right.”—Roger Zelazny
“Powers is a fine writer with an elegant and imaginative style, and the things that happen in his story are just weird enough to make us wonder if everyday life might not be as normal as it seems.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer
“A Tim Powers science fiction novel never fails to titillate and elucidate with the dark and the bizarre, and all with such original, eccentric color and style.”—Los Angeles Times
“Influenced by SF master Philip K. Dick, Powers taps into Dick’s surrealistic style to great success.”—Library Journal
“Expiration Date is fascinating. . . . It’ll have you turning pages as much for his sheer inventiveness as for the plot . . . for the remarkable frisson that sparks from the page, the playfulness of the language.”—The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction
“Only a writer of Powers’ skill and imagination could make this goulash of outlandish material work. He blends every outré ingredient into a satisfying and cohesive whole, so that the reader has no choice at the end but to think: ‘Of course. Everything fits. I can see that now.’ Expiration Date ranks with his best work.”—San Francisco Chronicle
