![]() ![]() Finally, for whatever reasons, Disney Studios optioned his 1987 novel On Stranger Tides for its Pirates of the Caribbean movie of the same name - I guess the studio simply wanted the title, for, though I have not seen it myself, the rumor is that it (predictably) has nothing to do with the book. He also has been credited with inventing, with The Anubis Gates (1983), the steampunk genre - though Powers’s friend James Blaylock shares some of this regard, for his The Digging Leviathan (1984). The most obvious cause for his celebrity is that twice he has won the World Fantasy Award for best novel ( Last Call, 1992, and Declare, 2000). Tim Powers is my most favorite living novelist. Baen Books covers by Todd Lockwood and Adam Burn Alternate Routes (2018) and Forced Perspectives (2020). ![]()
