A lusty, rollicking seventeenth-century adventure. . . . History as entertainment. --USA Today
In this New York Times bestselling novel, master of suspense Michael Crichton delivers an irresistible historical adventure tale of swashbuckling pirates in the New World--a classic story of treasure and betrayal.
The 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 in this thrilling treasure hunt, and the law of the land rests with those ruthless enough to make it.
Pirate Latitudes is Michael Crichton at his best: a brilliant adventure tale pulsing with relentless action, crackling atmosphere, and heart-pounding suspense.
