Crichton has done his homework." - Bob Minzesheimer, USA Today "The plot sucks you in like the giant kraken monster that nearly sinks our hero's galleon.Pirate Latitudes is an action adventure novel by Michael Crichton, the sixteenth novel to be published under his own name and first to be published after his death, concerning 17th-century piracy in the Caribbean.
