Synopsis

A young woman possessed by a ghost has slain the Fisher King of the West, Scott Crane. Now, temporarily freed from that malevolent spirit, she seeks to restore the King to life. But Crane's body has been taken to the magically protected home of Pete and Angelica Sullivan, and their adopted son, Koot Hoomie. Kootie is destined to be the next Fisher king, but he is only thirteen years old—too young, his mother thinks, to perform the rituals to assume the Kingship. But not too young, perhaps, to assist in reuniting Scott Crane's body and spirit, and restoring him to life.

I loved Last Call, and that's where your whole ethos of transplanting grail myth and ancient gods to modern-day America began. I didn't read Expiration Date, whic......more

Goodreads review by William on January 08, 2017

EARTHQUAKE WEATHER was, unfortunately a bit of a slog to get through. Powers mashed together the worlds and characters of LAST CALL and EXPIRATION DATE, but although, like all Powers books, it had its moments, there were just too many characters that I didn't care about, and too much time spent with......more

Earthquake Weather seems to get a lot of sass compared to the other two Fault Lines books, so I feel compelled to write a little about why I rated it 5 stars and why I think it's actually my favorite of the 3 Fault Lines books. While Expiration Date has the most compelling hook of the three (ghost sm......more

Goodreads review by Jonathan on May 12, 2011

While Expiration Date happens after Last Call, only a few minor characters crossed over. Earthquake Weather takes the surviving characters from the first two books and adds a few more to finally give the books a true sequel. This book does address one of the main weaknesses of the first two books. Th......more
