Review
A dark, delicious flow of strangeness... On Stranger Tides reminds me why I came to love reading in the first place * Orson Scott Card * Tim Powers is a brilliant writer * William Gibson * Tim Powers has long been one of my absolutely favourite writers * Peter Straub * The reigning king of adult historical fantasy * Kirkus * The best fantasy writer to appear in decades * The Guardian * If you've ever woken half way through a fabulous dream and desperately wanted to know what would have happened next: relax. Those unfinished stories go to Tim Powers, and he's good enough to write them down for all of us * Nick Harkaway *
Book Description

Condition: FAIR. First printing. Set in 1718 when Blackbeard was still terrorizing the Caribbean Sea, this is a "pirate adventure with a dazzling difference. [It] features Blackbeard, ghosts, voodoo, zombies, the fabled 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, this is the book that inspired the motion picture Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides." SIGNED by Powers on both the title page and the front flap on the dust jacket. 312 pp. Dust jacket art by James Gurney. Ex-library with reading wear, usual markings, spine slant and missing front endpaper - a poor copy of a good book! The dust jacket, however, is unmarked and in near fine condition and signed!

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Tim Powers's riotous, rocking pirate novel formed the inspiration for the Monkey Island video game series and the fourth movie in the Pirates of the Caribbean series. This fine first edition is as clean as they come, unread, the fine dust jacket protected in mylar. It's inscribed by Powers, who signs books upside-down so he (as a left-hander) doesn't break the spine: "This rip-off of a Disneyland ride!". Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # 151057
