Inhaltsangabe

The End of the World is no laughing matter.

There's no better place to spend the day than in Bulfinche's Pub, the bar at the end of the rainbow. That is unless it's April 1st, when the world's tricksters compete for the honor of the Lord High Trickster. No prank is too big or small, and no target is safe. Rather than be trickster fodder, most of the staff and patrons have wisely fled NYC and gone into hiding until the contest is over. This year, a patron named Hex's future self possesses his body in the present, but it's no prank. In mere hours, a Sidhe Queen will seize a Trident missile. After learning that a formerly unknown foreign power has a door into the American heartland and a nuclear warhead, the US military will launch a preemptive first strike. Faerie is destroyed and the survivors escape to Earth. The mystic fallout makes magic twist and darken.

Gods are driven mad. Monsters step from the shadows. World governments crumble. Millions die, including Paddy Moran and Bulfinche's Pub is destroyed. To prevent this future, Hex has come back with a plan to put things right before they go bad. Unfortunately, their divine and mystic friends think it's part of some elaborate trickster prank and won't come out of hiding to help. That leaves a handful of tricksters against the US Air Force, Mab's Faerie Army and the mystic might of rival Faerie king Oberon.

Happy Fools' Day.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

There's been a debate among certain obscure and drunken literary scholars about whether PATRICK THOMAS was raised by Cthulhu or a leprechaun in a Manhattan bar. What there is no arguing about is that Patrick is the award-winning author of 50+ books including the beloved fantasy humor Murphy's Lore series, the darkly hilarious Dear Cthulhu advice empire, as well as the Bikini Jones adventure books. Patrick pens the Hexcraft and Terrorbelle urban fantasy series, co-writes the Mystic Investigators paranormal mystery series, and is the creator of the Agents of the Abyss. Dear Cthulhu has expanded from magazines and books to broadcast monthly on the radio show Destinies: The Voice of Science Fiction. Over 100 of his stories have been published in magazines and anthologies. A number of his books were part of the props department of the CSI television show and Nightcaps was even thrown at a suspect's head. His urban fantasy Fairy With A Gun at one point had been optioned for film and TV by Laurence Fishburne's Cinema Gypsy Productions. Top Men Productions turned his Soul For Hire Story, Act of Contrition, into a short film. DPH Games is releasing a card game based on his 142nd Starborne military SF stories. As Patrick T. Fibbs, he writes middle readers including the Babe B. Bear Mysteries, The Undead Kid Diaries, Joy Reaper Checks Out, the YA Emotional Support Nightmare, and the Fushia The Mermaid and the Ughabooz picture books for younger kids.
