Synopsis Discovered posthumously (or at least that's how it's being spun), PIRATE LATITUDES was completed shortly before best-selling super-star Michael Crichton died in 2009. Crichton's first foray into pirate adventures, this is a classic adventure tale: a pirate and a politician from Jamaica seek their fortunes with a plan to steal a Spanish treasure. Crichton's research and imagination are evident, and he was clearing enjoying himself while working on this final project.

Publisher's Note English Captain Charles Hunter and his crew of ruffians sail from colonial Jamaica to infiltrate a Spanish-controlled island, commandeering the galleon El Trinidad and its fortune in gold after a bloody battle, but Hunter and his crew have plenty of danger and adventure ahead of them, in this 17th-century swashbuckling tale found among the late author's files after his passing. Simultaneous.
Industry Reviews "This hilariously exciting book already reads like a film treatment, jumping from one cinematic, doom-filled episode to the next as it cuts its bloody way through the encyclopedia of piracy from 'Ahoy' to 'Yo-ho-ho.'" (11/25/2009)
