Piratske širine

Michael Crichton

The manuscript of Pirate's Latitudes was found in Michael Crichton's computer after the writer's death. In it, this master of high-tech thrillers reveals himself posthumously as an equally skilled author of historical adventures.

Caribbean, 1665. Jamaica is a remote colony of the English crown that resists the vast supremacy of the Spanish Empire. The capital, Port Royal, is a merciless place, full of taverns and shameless houses, whose streets flow with grog, and human lives can easily be ended by a stroke of disease - or a dagger. The law is in the hands of those who are brave enough to make it themselves. The governor of Jamaica wants to maintain the existing status quo. But the Spanish galleon El Trinidad, loaded with legendary treasures, is anchored in the fortified harbor on the nearby island of Matanceros, under the tutelage of the bloodthirsty Cazalla, a favorite of the king of Spain himself. That galley seems like a booty that the right man could get his hands on, and the right man for that impossible task is Captain Charles Hunter, to some an experienced sailor, to others a pirate. When he gathers the crew of his ship Cassandra, Hunter will set sail on an undertaking that seems demanding - although he has no idea what dangers lie on his way to the golden loot. The robbery they embarked on is more dangerous than the bloodiest legends circulating in the Caribbean - and one of the most enticing narratives ever written about this semi-mythical period of history...
