He just can't guess how much and how fast. A violent incident on the road brings Danny the favor of a man known only as Mr. Patrise, who gives Danny a job, a home, and a new identity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe City is a different world from the one Danny--now called Doc--knew, and literally so. Long-vanished powers have returned, and more is going on in the streets than nightlife and street warfare. Power is gathering: a power rooted in terror, madness, and death. To fight it will require Doc to face what he fears most. To defeat it will take something more than courage. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow with a new introduction by Roz Kaveney, written especially for this edition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn M. Ford was, in his lifetime, a favorite author of many writers better known than he was, including Robert Jordan. He won World Fantasy Awards for both his novel \u003ci\u003eThe Dragon Waiting\u003c\/i\u003e and his poem \"Winter Solstice, Camelot Station,\" and he won the Philip K. Dick Award for his novel, \u003ci\u003eGrowing Up Weightless\u003c\/i\u003e. His Star Trek(TM) novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Final Reflection\u003c\/i\u003e, essentially created the nuanced Klingon culture seen later in the feature films, and his other novel in that universe, \u003ci\u003eHow Much For The Planet?\u003c\/i\u003e, was a Star Trek(TM) tale told as a Gilbert \u0026amp; Sullivan musical, complete with songs. He was a genius. He died in 2006.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Tor Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51735018045714,"sku":"9781250388827","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_36773251-eed5-4b93-b054-dccfee24d152.jpg?v=1772014159","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-last-hot-time-9781250388827","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
