About this listen

On Stranger Tides follows the exploits of John Chandagnac, who travels to the new world after the death of his puppeteer father to confront his uncle, who has apparently made off with the family fortune. During the voyage, he befriends Beth Hurwood and her father, Benjamin Hurwood, an Oxford professor. Before they arrive at their destination, their ship is waylaid by Blackbeard and his band of pirates. With the help of the professor and his assistant, the captain is killed and Chandagnac is pressed into piracy and sorcery as Blackbeard searches for the Fountain of Youth. Chandagnac, newly dubbed Jack Shandy, must stop the evil plot and save Beth Hurwood.

Tim Powers is the author of over a dozen novels, including The Anubis Gates, Declare, Last Call, and Three Days to Never. He has received the Philip K. Dick, World Fantasy, and Locus awards. He lives in San Bernardino, California.

Bronson Pinchot is a wonderful narrator and I will listen to more of his work. Tim Powers is quite a story teller. Worth your time!

the author makes great use of all characters, motives, backstories etc. which makes for a tight story that wraps up nicely.

This kind of thing is not my usual kind of read but I was really glad I made a departure from my usual fare. I wouldn't have tried it out ordinarily but it was mentioned by Patrick Rothfuss and I like his books, so I took a chance and was pleased I did. I was really surprised how much I enjoyed it - an all round excellent read very well narrated. It's a really pacey tightly written tale, not a slow moment and no padding. Has all the right ingredients with great characters and a captivating story. What else can you ask for?

Excellent Pirate Romp!

Great story. Good reader but his French accent makes the protagonist sound a little like Arnold Schwarzenegger instead of a Frenchman

Great
