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, 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.
