When a Spanish treasure galleon, separated from its convoy near Jamaica, is sighted taking refuge in the bay of the impenetrable Spanish fortress of Monteceros, the Governor of Port Royal commissions a ship of pirates to assault the fortres I've always been a Crichton fan, and just couldn't pass up the opportunity to read his take on pirates.

    FREE PIRATE LATITUDES PDF Michael Crichton | 400 pages | 01 Apr 2010 | HarperCollins Publishers | 9780007329106 | English | London, United Kingdom Pirate Latitudes - Based On A True Story 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. 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 Pirate Latitudes port is that the galleon El Trinidad, Pirate Latitudes from New Spain, is awaiting repairs Pirate Latitudes 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 Pirate Latitudes perilous as the bloodiest tales of island legend, and Hunter will lose more than one Pirate Latitudes 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. I think that the people of the 17th century were very different from us in their assumptions about the universe, their notions about human behavior, and their fundamental values. We tend to think that Charles II was pretty much like any of us, except that he happened to be king.

  • Small Wonder That Said, the Book Lacks Some of the Elements That Made Crichton’S Best Works Soar
    COMMENT BOOKS & ARTS if you don’t want to know. Crichton miniaturizes them. Micro is the 1989 film Honey, I Shrunk the Kids re-imagined as a dark, edge-of-the-seat technological thriller. The shrinking is accomplished by the powers of magnetic tensor fields, whatever those are. Even the GETTY BY J. EXLEY/CONTOUR characters, post-miniaturization, can’t make sense of it: did their atoms shrink, too? How did it work? But let that go. Give Crichton and Preston their leap. Now you are experiencing the micro-universe first-hand. The result is scary and fun — a wild romp through the Hawaiian hinterland with both man and insect on your tail. The authors give us a potpourri of facts about chemical ecology, as well as useful hints for surviving when small (katydid ‘meat’ tastes like sushi). To their credit, Crichton and Preston try to keep the science as close to truth as fiction will allow. Our heroes find everything from biomechanics to wind resistance dramati- cally modified, giving them, for example, ant-like super-strength, and rendering them invulnerable to long falls. This gives our protagonists a chance against predators Micro is the last of the posthumous publications from Michael Crichton, pictured here in 1993. such as insects and birds, with their terri- fying arsenals of physical and chemical FICTION weapons. It is quite an adventure, pitting the mini-grads against vicious ants and a mynah bird. There is even a life-or-death fight with a bat. Small wonder That said, the book lacks some of the elements that made Crichton’s best works soar.
