I didn't think the other two books in the trilogy were as good as Last Call. I also didn't find the attempts in "Earthquake Weather" to tie in the two different plotlines from Last Call and Expiration Date particularly convincing. They're still entertaining books, but not Powers at his best IMO.

I think "On Stranger Tides" might be out of print at the moment (it certainly was when I was looking for a copy) which might make it unlikely that libraries will be able to get it. Second-hand bookshops or e-bay or Amazon are probably the best bets for finding it.
