Michael Crichton

L'isola dei pirati

Pirate Latitudes

★★★ for fine writing. There are some parts that feel like Crichton planned to come back and polish up, but they don't really hurt the book as a whole.<br /><br />★★★★ for perfectly meeting my expectations. Pirate Latitudes casts itself as a good old pirate adventure story and it delivers exactly that. Fun, smarmy, and a bit ridiculous. Spot on.

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. Word in port is that a galleon, fresh from New Spain, is awaiting repairs in a nearby harbor....

A Novel

A grimy, fast-paced swashbuckler. Really enjoyed this one, couldn't put it down. It hits just about every pirate note there is and is also a heist so really what's not to love

What I love about this author is that he is quite good at researching and assembling a story. Loving pirates and his style I had great fun with this adventure. Like the Jurassic series I will reread again for the adventure. Great Summer read.

Though this book doesn't seem like a typical Michael Crichton novel at first, then I remembered that this was the work of the author who wrote The Eaters of the Dead and The Great Train Robbery.

I love pirate stories. Especially when it's not a smutty pirate romance for once 😉
This book is quite graphic and gory with lots of battles and deaths.
I liked it. It's not one of my favorites, but it was entertaining.
