Tim Powers
“Powers writes action and adventure that Indiana Jones could only dream of.”—Washington Post“Tim Powers is a brilliant writer.”—William GibsonThe 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.

"Yes! I liked it but not as much as I've enjoyed there on the list. Without giving too much away it's similar to the movie on stranger tides in the way of the fountain of youth and pirate adventures but since it's an older book it's a bit damsel in distress hero type thing. It's not hard to peice together the ending either. Nevertheless I found it to be a fun book I'd read again, mabye on vacation :)"
