Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"For those who have never read Powers before, THREE DAYS TO NEVER might be a welcoming entry point to his singlular fictional universe."--San Francisco Chronicle Book Review

"A writer of extraordinary imaginative powers."--Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

"A wild and wooly romp-fun."--Library Journal

"[An] intense, downhill-race of a story . . . the summer sleeper hit of 2006."--Denver Post

"[A] stellar supernatural thriller....Powers works an impressively original variation on the vampire theme....The meticulous attention to historical and literary detail grounds the story solidly in its period and enhances its imaginative reach."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) on HIDE ME AMONG THE GRAVES

"Endlessly inventive . . . You might finish this overstuffed novel still unsure about the connection between Einstein and astral projection, but if you give in to Powers's imaginative leaps and relentless pacing you may find that a mere quibble."--New York Times Book Review

"Grade: A . . . Powers never fails to reward readers with fascinating and believable tales that take them just beyond the edges of reality. Combining historical fact, science-fiction and thriller pacing, THREE DAYS TO NEVER is worth the wait. . . . Savor THREE DAYS TO NEVER."--Rocky Mountain News

"[I]nternational metaphysical intrigue involving time travel, Jewish mysticism, and Albert Einstein. . . . [I]t all somehow works in Powers' wily storytelling logic. B+."--Entertainment Weekly

"The nonstop action of this diverting steampunk thriller will attract many readers."--Library Journal on HIDE ME AMONG THE GRAVES

"Almost despite its wonderful weirdness, this thriller moves at a frantic clip . . . [the] very outlandishness [of Powers's metaphysics] makes the story all the more compelling."--Booklist

Reseña del editor:
