"Powers writes action and adventure that Indiana Jones could only dream
of."
--Washington Post
"Tim Powers is a brilliant writer."
--William Gibson
The remarkable Tim Powers--who ingeniously married the John Le Carrè spy
novel to the otherworldly in his critically acclaimed Declare--brings
us pirate adventure with a dazzling difference. On Stranger Tides
features Blackbeard, ghosts, voodoo, zombies, the fable Fountain of
Youth...and more swashbuckling action than you could shake a cutlass at,
as reluctant buccaneer John Shandy braves all manner of peril, natural
and supernatural, to rescue his ensorcelled love. Nominated for the
Locus and World Fantasy Awards, On Stranger Tides is the book that
inspired the motion picture Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger
Tides--non-stop, breathtaking fiction from the genius imagination that
conceived Last Call, Expiration Date, and Three Days to Never.
