MMM! Wicked looking cover on dat book!

Okay, here's the other reason that "On Stranger Tides" is a good Tiki-fied book. (Even though it has no tikis in it.) It all takes place in the Caribbean - a tropical setting, and it's one of the only adventures where the author graphically describes everyone drinking RUM! Really getting falling down drunk... on RUM... on the beach! Now, that's a tiki-fied adventure!

Just finished another good "pulp" adventure novel. Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter by Michael Reaves. Good writer! I also like his BATMAN novel "Fear Itself". I know, I read alot of "Pulp" adventures. Not very high brow stuff. You see, when I first started reading, I read Edgar Rice Burroughs's books. Like ... all of them! All the Tarzan novels, all the John Carter of Mars novels... everyone I could get my hands on. It made such a huge impact on me, I'm still craving a good pulp adventure novel 40 years later.
