Powers writes action and adventure that Indiana Jones could only dream of. — Washington Post Tim Powers is a brilliant writer. — William Gibson This is the novel that inspired the blockbuster motion picture from Walt Disney Studios, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides starring Johnny Depp! The remarkable Tim Powers — who ingeniously married the John le CarrE 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 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, On Stranger Tides is non-stop, breathtaking fiction from the genius imagination that conceived Last Call, Expiration Date, and Three Days to Never.

With his career still in its formative years, the panache with which Hercule Poirot could solve even the most puzzling mystery is obvious. Chronicled by his friend Captain Hastings, these eighteen early cases — from theft and robbery to kidnapping and murder — were all guaranteed to test Poirot's soon-to-be-famous 'little grey cells' to their absolute limit.

Born a slave on the island of Saint-Domingue, Zarité — known as Tété — is the daughter of an African mother she never knew and one of the white sailors who brought her into bondage. Though her childhood is one of brutality and fear, Tété finds solace in the traditional rhythms of African drums and the voodoo loas she discovers through her fellow slaves. When twenty-year-old Toulouse Valmorain arrives on the island in 1770, it's with powdered wigs in his trunks and dreams of financial success in his mind. But running his father's plantation, Saint Lazare, is neither glamorous nor easy. Against the merciless backdrop of sugar cane fields, the lives of Tété and Valmorain grow ever more intertwined. When the bloody revolution of Toussaint Louverture arrives at the gates of Saint Lazare, they flee the island that will become Haiti for the decadence and opportunity of New Orleans. There, Tété finally forges a new life — but her connection to Valmorain is deeper than anyone knows and not so easily severed.
