內容簡介
Michael Crichton as you've never seen him -- an irresistibletale of swashbuckling pirates in the New World, a classic story oftreasure and betrayal. Jamaica in 1665 is a rough outpost of theEnglish crown, a minor colony holding out against the vastsupremacy of the Spanish empire. Port Royal, Jamaica's capital, acut-throat town of taverns, grog shops, and bawdy houses, is devoidof London's luxuries; life here can end swiftly with dysentery or adagger in your back. But for Captain Edward Hunter it is a lifethat can also lead to riches, if he abides by the island s code. Inthe name of His Majesty King Charles II of England, gold in Spanishhands is gold for the taking. And law in the New World is made bythose who take it into their hands. Word in port is that theSpanish treasure galleon El Trinidad, fresh from New Spain, isstalled in nearby Matanceros harbor awaiting repairs. Heavilyfortified, the impregnable Spanish outpost is guarded by theblood-swiller Cazalla, a favorite commander of King Philip IVhimself. With the governor's backing, Hunter assembles a roughneckcrew to infiltrate the enemy island and commandeer the galleon,along with its fortune in Spanish gold. The raid is as perilous asthe bloody legends of Matanceros suggest, and Hunter will lose morethan one man before he finds himself on the island's shores, wheredense jungle and the firepower of Spanish infantry are all thatstand between him and the treasure. With the help of his cunningcrew, Hunter hijacks El Trinidad and escapes the deadly clutches ofCazalla, leaving plenty of carnage in his wake. But his troubleshave just begun. . . . Discovered among Crichton's files after hispassing last Fall, PIRATE LATITUDES is sure to generate tremendousreader interest and media coverage.
