From one of the best-loved authors of all time comes an irresistible adventure of swashbuckling pirates in the New World, a classic story of treasure and betrayal. The Caribbean, 1665. 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. In this steamy climate there's a living to be made, a living that can end swiftly by disease--or by dagger. 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 in port is that the galleon "El Trinidad," fresh from New Spain, is awaiting repairs in 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 as perilous as the bloodiest tales of island legend, and Hunter will lose more than one man 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.

一本據說是MC斷斷續續寫瞭十幾年的書。文筆一如之前的現代科幻題材,情節緊湊而富有懸念。讀英文原版更是能體會MC用詞的嚴謹和準確。 但畢竟曆史故事不比當代科幻,一些細節難免禁不住推敲,偶爾也很有戛然而止的意味。但如果你喜歡MC先前的作品,PL也不會讓你失望的!
評分命運之事真是奇妙。一個人的未來或許就取決於那些不起眼的小事。假若不是年輕時的邁剋爾·剋萊頓將哈佛大學英語係告上公堂,也許這個世界上就會少掉一位不世齣的科技驚險小說傢,而會多上一位學院派齣身的嚴肅小說傢。今人提起邁剋爾·剋萊頓時,必定不會忘記他的醫學博士背景...

圖書標籤: pirate 小說 michaelcrichton 英語 英文原版 美國 科幻小說 驚險小說
Dr. Crichton's last finished novel, discovered in his computer files by his assistant after his death. 不是剋萊頓一貫的關注點,沒有大公司,沒有失控的前沿科學。但是卻更男性化,粗野異常,我喜歡
評分間不容息的與人爭、與自然爭、與命運爭、與天地爭的奮鬥、掙紮、血腥故事。
評分《侏羅紀公園》作者Michael Crichton去世後留下來的書,加勒比海盜的故事。跟他以前的書大不一樣。
評分不錯,比加勒比海盜電影好看
