On Stranger Tides

Over the years, a handful of friends have urged me to give Tim Powers a try, and somehow I never got around to it.

After a reading group at work was put on hiatus owing to other time commitments by the organizer, a handful of us sent 'round suggestions for "must-reads*," and I Powers made it onto my library hold queue.

On Stranger Tides was terrific - an excellent yarn with enough grounding in history to make it that much more believable. Sorta wish I had read it sooner. Anubis Gates is going on my library hold list as I type.

*My contributions, for the curious, were the Takeshi Kovacs novels.
