Pirate Latitudes(ISBN=) 英文原版

　　Michael Crichton as you’ve never seen him — an irresistible
tale of swashbuckling pirates in the New World, a classic story of
treasure and betrayal. Jamaica in 1665 is a rough outpost of the
English crown, a minor colony holding out against the vast
supremacy of the Spanish empire. Port Royal, Jamaica’s capital, a
cut-throat town of taverns, grog shops, and bawdy houses, is devoid
of London’s luxuries; life here can end swiftly with dysentery or a
dagger in your back. But for Captain Edward Hunter it is a life
that can also lead to riches, if he abides by the island s code. In
the name of His Majesty King Charles II of England, gold in Spanish
hands is gold for the taking. And law in the New World is made by
those who take it into their hands. Word in port is that the
Spanish treasure galleon El Trinidad, fresh from New Spain, is
stalled in nearby Matanceros harbor awaiting repairs. Heavily
fortified, the impregnable Spanish outpost is guarded by the
blood-swiller Cazalla, a favorite commander of King Philip IV
himself. With the governor’s backing, Hunter assembles a roughneck
crew to infiltrate the enemy island and commandeer the galleon,
along with its fortune in Spanish gold. The raid is as perilous as
the bloody legends of Matanceros suggest, and Hunter will lose more
than one man before he finds himself on the island’s shores, where
dense jungle and the firepower of Spanish infantry are all that
stand between him and the treasure. With the help of his cunning
crew, Hunter hijacks El Trinidad and escapes the deadly clutches of
Cazalla, leaving plenty of carnage in his wake. But his troubles
have just begun. . . . Discovered among Crichton’s files after his
passing last Fall, PIRATE LATITUDES is sure to generate tremendous
reader interest and media coverage.

　　“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 )
