USA TodayThe Caribbean, 1665. A remote colony of the English Crown, the island of Jamaica holds out against the vast supremacy of the Spanish empire. Port Royal, its capital, is a cutthroat town of taverns, grog shops, and bawdy houses. In this steamy climate there s a living to be made, a living that can end swiftly by disease or by dagger. For Captain Charles Hunter, gold in Spanish hands is gold for the taking, and the law of the land rests with those ruthless enough to make it.Pirate Latitudes is Michael Crichton at his best: a rollicking adventure tale pulsing with relentless action, crackling atmosphere, and heart-pounding suspense.

    Although this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.

    EXCITING READ

    Pirates have never interested me. But, the Author Michael Crichton has and still does interest me. He is the most compelling Author of all. He kept me fascinated about the story, because of the research he must have done to gain knowledge of not only Pirates but the sea, creatures of the sea, ships of that time and the expertise in sailing a ship in the 1600's. I learned a lot.

  • Sometimes confusing

    As with most of Michael crichton's books he pulls you in. however; this book moved in segments and at some points was hard to follow. overall a good rating. a hard read but engaging.

  • A marbelous story told by a master storyteller.

    I have read over 20 of Crichton's books - and most all were impressively researched and compelling. The 13th Warrior and Pirate Latitudes were the very best. A delightful story filled with fascinating details, a cunning Captain, and a crew of specialists adept at their tasks. Action packed, great twist ending.
