Reviews for Pirate Latitudes

  • Yet more brilliance5

    Jaclyn Michael Crichton is known as one of the best and most loved authors in the world for a reason and I, for one, was extremely saddened to learn of his passing. Mainly because I was convinced there wouldn't be any more books from him!

    However, Pirate Latitudes is his first posthumous release, and it's hands down one of the best stories I've read this year, if not ever. Not just one of the best pirate stories, but one of the best stories overall.

    Captain Hunter, with the unspoken support of Jamaican governor, Sir James Almont, sets out to take the almost impregnable Spanish stronghold, Matanceros. He and his crew don't just have to worry about soldiers attacking though - there's also raging storms, cannibals, and even a legendary Kraken.

    Does Hunter succeed and will he be welcomed back to Jamaica? That, I can't tell you. I can however, promise a gripping read, and a comfortable one at that as the details never become overwhelming and never leave you lost.

    The one thing I was disappointed about is that the story can feel a little rushed towards the end, but considering that I never thought I'd see another Crichton story again, it's definitely something I can live with. I'd still give it three thumbs up if I could! by Jaclyn
