On Stranger Tides

“This dark fantasy tale will appeal not just to pirate fans but also to anyone who appreciates Powers's talent for blending the most unlikely elements into a brilliantly cohesive whole.”

“Pirates and voodoo in the Caribbean strike sparks of freshly bizarre fantasy, by the author of the smartly acclaimed The Anubis Gates (1985). Powers is a rich stylist whose charismatic language keeps pace with his storytelling and rarely slips into high purple--and even then, it errs on the side of the angels... Offering full confirmation of Powers' vast talent, this imaginative tale should please his old fans and draw him many new ones.”
