On Stranger Tides

On Stranger Tides

<p>“Powers writes action and adventure that Indiana Jones could only dream of.”<br />—<em>Washington Post</em></p><p>“Tim Powers is a brilliant writer.”<br />—William Gibson</p><p>The remarkable Tim Powers—who ingeniously married the John Le Carrè spy novel to the otherworldly in his critically acclaimed <em>Declare</em>—brings us pirate adventure with a dazzling difference. <em>On Stranger Tides</em> 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 <em>Locus</em> and World Fantasy Awards, <em>On Stranger Tides</em> is the book that inspired the motion picture <em>Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides</em>—non-stop, breathtaking fiction from the genius imagination that conceived <em>Last Call, Expiration Date, </em>and <em>Three Days to Never</em>.<br /></p>
