"[On Stranger Tides] promises marvels and horrors, and delivers
them all. You'll love the characters, you'll stay awake all night
reading it, and when you finally do sleep, you'll find this story
playing through your dreams."--Orson Scott Card
"Tim Powers has long been one of my absolutely favorite writers,
those whose new books I snatch up as soon as they appear....The
qualities I most admire in him [are] intelligence, narrative
sparkle, great dialogue, speculative imagination, and emotional
power."--Peter Straub
"Powers [has] considerable gifts."--San Francisco Chronicle
"One of the most original and innovative writers of fantasy
currently working....The quality of Powers's prose never
falters....His writing defies characterization and he never repeats
himself."--Washington Post
"Powers has forged a style of narrative uniquely his own, one
filled with sharply drawn characters, fully imagined settings,
elaborate underpinnings that pull all rugs out from under us and
let us glimpse terrible, ragged floors beneath."--Los Angeles
Times
"Tim Powers is an uncommon literary talent....Exceedingly
readable....If heavenly muses were to put Dean Koontz, John Le
Carre and Robert Parker into a creative blender, then molded the
mix into a brand new writer, the result would be something akin to
Tim Powers."--Denver Post
