Summary

Jamaca in the 1600s was an outpost of British power amid the Spanish controlled waters of the Caribean. The ruling governor, Sir James Almont, hears a rumour of a pirate galleon stowed near an impregnable Spanish stronghold. Despite the risk and acting against British policy he employs a privateer and a team of buccaneers to sieze the vessel.

Pirate Latitudes Reviews

"A lusty, rollicking 17th century adventure.... History as entertainment.... Crichton has done his homework."--Bob Minzesheimer, USA Today
"Unabashed fun."--Cameron Martin, New York Times
"Offers unexpected turns and plenty of yo ho ho's."--Richard Eisenberg, People (3 out of 4 stars)
"It's not an ironic pirate novel. It's not a pirate novel with a secret gimmick. It's simply an entertaining tale filled with crafty privateers, despicable villains, treasure hoards, double crosses and a sea monster. Go figure."--Michael Berry, San Francisco Chronicle
"The plot sucks you in like the giant kraken monster that nearly sinks our hero's galleon."--Benjamin Svetsky, Entertainment Weekly
