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.
©2006 Tim Powers (P)2013 Audible LtdI hunted for a good novel and was pointed to this one by multiple people. I can safely say that I was hugely impressed. The narration is excellent and the characters are well-written, as is the story. It had me wishing I was back onboard a cruise ship so I could feel the waves beneath me.
Needless to say I'm a bit of an ocean lover. For any out there looking for a good pirate tale, I would highly recommend On Stranger Tides. It features real people from the era such as Black Beard and Steed Bonnet etc...
And, on a very positive note, it is far better than the film that was based upon this book.
Well worth the price and a steal if you have a free credit.
Excellent pirate fiction!

I loved the historical and nautical details and cameos from historical figures. Big shout out to my girl Anne Bonny!
The narrator is mostly fine. Jack Shandy's accent slips a bit between French and German but not so much that it's distracting.
Pirates! Magic! Revenge! All the good stuff
