From one of the best-loved authors of all time comes an irresistible adventure of swashbuckling pirates in the New World, a classic story of treasure and betrayal. 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 the galleon "El Trinidad," fresh from New Spain, is awaiting repairs in a nearby harbor. Heavily fortified, the impregnable harbor is guarded by the bloodthirsty Cazalla, a favorite commander of the Spanish king himself. With backing from a powerful ally, Hunter assembles a crew of ruffians to infiltrate the enemy outpost and commandeer "El Trinidad," along with its fortune in Spanish gold. The raid is as perilous as the bloodiest tales of island legend, and Hunter will lose more than one man before he even sets foot on foreign shores, where dense jungle and the firepower of Spanish infantry stand between him and the treasure. . . . "Pirate Latitudes" is Michael Crichton at his best: a rollicking adventure tale pulsing with relentless action, crackling atmosphere, and heart-pounding suspense.

讀後感
一本据说是MC断断续续写了十几年的书。文笔一如之前的现代科幻题材，情节紧凑而富有悬念。读英文原版更是能体会MC用词的严谨和准确。 但毕竟历史故事不比当代科幻，一些细节难免禁不住推敲，偶尔也很有戛然而止的意味。但如果你喜欢MC先前的作品，PL也不会让你失望的!

用戶評價
《侏羅紀公園》作者Michael Crichton去世後留下來的書，加勒比海盜的故事。跟他以前的書大不一樣。
评分一般般
评分Dr. Crichton's last finished novel, discovered in his computer files by his assistant after his death. 不是剋萊頓一貫的關注點，沒有大公司，沒有失控的前沿科學。但是卻更男性化，粗野異常，我喜歡
评分侏羅紀公園原著作者的最後一本冒險小說，一本關於大航海時代的傑剋船長的故事，有著真實的曆史背景，對那個時代感興趣的人可以拜讀一下，很有意思。
评分Harvard1650年代畢業的私掠船長的故事
