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 *

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
