On Stranger Tides and its Covers

I have just ordered this book.


I was wondering which cover of it do you prefer?

I ordered an older edition of the book and more expensive just cause it had an amazing cover.

Re: On Stranger Tides and its Covers

Please let me know what it is like Conn.

You know I don't have this book yet, so some honest appraisal would be welcome.

Cheers..

That one's pretty good as well. It is also more accurate than the one I posted, since the undead pirates are zombies rather than skeletons.

It is a very entertaining book with a nice mix of the supernatural (particularly the under-used concept of Zombie Pirates) and historical elements.

Re: On Stranger Tides and its Covers

I did read 20 or so pages of this book just to see how he wrote it. I must say his prose improved alot since Drawing of The Dark. I saw many sentences that was very impressing.

Right now im reading Declare but i cant wait to read more of this book.
