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,
is the book that inspired the motion picture
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

and
Three Days to Never
