What this book is about
Published posthumously from a completed manuscript found on Crichton's hard drive, Pirate Latitudes is a straightforward Caribbean piracy adventure set in the 17th century. Captain Hunter assembles a crew to attack a Spanish treasure galleon — a plan that involves siege, deception, and navigating both human and natural catastrophe. Crichton's genre adventure lacks his usual scientific premise but delivers reliable entertainment.
