Product Description
Your Days Are Numbered…And Clay Ryker Knows It.
Clay Ryker is a man with a dark past and an uncertain future. A failure in both business and marriage, he has come home after a decade away, hoping for a fresh start in the small Pacific Northwest town where he grew up.
But Clay harbors a terrible secret, one that even those closest to him don’t know. When increasingly sinister notes appear in the folds of his morning paper, Clay realizes that the truth is not so secret after all. Then people around him start dying and, with a serial killer on the loose, he discovers a terrible gift: he can foresee the timing of a person’s death–his or her expiration date.
As his newfound ability proves both a blessing and a curse, Clay’s foreknowledge could cost more than he can bear to lose. Working with ex-cop and investigator Vince Turney, Clay has no choice but to face up to the truth of his past. Will he find the courage to overcome an unspeakable evil, one that he himself may have empowered?

Favorite Author, 2007-11-19
Eric Wilson has to be one of the best authors around today. This book is the second in a planned 5 part series. It is about Clay Rykker a man going through a divorce who moves back home and is given the ability to foresee the day someone will die. Clay tries to find out if this is a blessing or a curse while trying to save those whose expiration date he knows. It deals with the struggles that he is going through. This book has great character devolopment and you can so relate to what they are dealing with. It also has a great ending that leaves you wanting more of this series. It does bring back a couple of characters from Dark to Mortal Eyes which I would recommend reading first. Eric Wilson just keeps getting better with every book that he writes.

 An Enjoyable Read, 2007-10-08
Action, suspense, history, and spiritual warfare are combined here to make this a very enjoyable read.
Expiration Date features Clay Ryker who is experiencing major difficulties in all areas of his life: his marriage, business, parents, friends, and spirituality. The author does a good job of weaving together a story containing lots of twists and turns along with some spiritual truths.
This novel contains some characters from Eric Wilson's previous novel, 'Dark To Mortal Eyes'. It will keep the readers interested from start to finish.

Old But Not Expired. , 2007-05-31
A well-written and fascinating blend of supernatural, historical and gritty reality.
Clay Ryker is struggling with the baggage of lies believed and sin-scorched failures. I ached for him as he continued in his downward spiral of confusion.
But what is at the root of his confusion? And what would he do with this cursed gift he's been given?
Expiration Date blends intriguing history, life-like characters and a tight plot into a compelling read.

A Compelling Read!, 2007-05-31
I liked Dark to Mortal Eyes; I loved Expiration Date. I am officially hooked on Eric Wilson's writing after reading this novel.
Expiration Date draws on the history of the Romanov family and the Bolshevik Revolution in a thrilling story about fate, free will, and divine intervention. The book tackles the question that everyone asks at some point: is the future written in stone, or is it determined by our choices - or is it perhaps a mixture of both?
When Clay Ryker discovers that he is suddenly able to foresee the day a person will die, he takes it upon himself to use his newfound knowledge to save lives - if that's possible. Unwittingly, he becomes mixed up in a battle for an ancient relic that may be a clue to the fabled treasure of Rasputin. In order to protect this relic and save the life of its finder, a young boy named Kenny, Clay must face the demons of his past that he has tried to hide for years.
Expiration Date is masterfully written, whether you're looking for philosophical insight or just a good read. May cause spinning thoughts, sleep loss, and shortage of breath.

Another great book!, 2007-01-20
Expiration Date is the second book in the senses series and explores the sense of touch. It has an interesting premise, and is quite enjoyable to read. It extends some of the loose ends left from Dark to Mortal Eyes, but does not completely answer all the questions. The use of Russian history as the back drop to many of the character's motivations is quite intriguing. At times I felt like I was getting a very enjoyable history lesson about the Czars and Rasputin. My only complaint was the lead character Clay Ryker was written too well. He behaved and acted exactly as someone in his position should and does. However, for someone, like me, who has little patience for self-pity, he began to grate on my nerves just a little. Once Clay starts acting and thinking rather than sulking, he is very likable. This is a compliment to the author for writing a believable, human character. The issues that Clay faces are some that many people today deal with--divorce, failure, their past, poor decisions, family tension, etc. He's someone we can all relate too and sympathize with. The supernatural elements in the book are vivid and remind me a bit of This Present Darkness. I look forward to the third sense book and hope it is published soon.
