Powers' next novel - “The Anubis Gates” is probably his most famous and, in the opinion of many, his best book.
The plot is, compared to “The Anubis Gates”, fairly straightforward — although it does introduce Powers' fondness for using fiction to offer unlikely supernatural explanations for the documented behaviour of historical figures — principally Blackbeard, although several other real-life figures also turn up.
It may lack complexity compared to “The Anubis Gates”, but “The Anubis Gates” doesn't have Zombie Pirates in it.

 Steven Wu's Book Reviews: Anubis Gates (Tim Powers)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Anubis Gates is a fast-paced and exciting read that falls just short of being a truly great science-fiction novel.
The end result is a collection of plot threads, none of which are unresolved at the end--but many of which are left dangling for very long times, only to be tied up in a hurry.
This is not to say that Anubis Gates isn't a fun ride--it is, and Powers's imagination goes a long way toward making the book a page-turner long into the night.

'The Anubis Gates' is one of the classics of time travel stories even if it doesn't dwell on the means of getting back into the past.
