PIRATE LATITUDES by Michael Crichton (audiobook review)

http://audiobookstoday.blogspot.com
It's a mystery why Michael Crichton's last novel (he died in 2008) is not a science fiction epic, but perhaps he was just having fun. We'll give him that. PIRATE LATITUDES is a swashbuckling tale set in Port Royal, Jamaica in 1665, and follows Capt. Charles Hunter, a "profiteer, not a pirate," as he and his hired cutthroats attempt to commandeer the booty aboard a Spanish galleon moored in the bay of a small, protected island while it awaits an escort back to Spain. John Bedford Lloyd narrates the action, giving the barbarous characters all the melodramatic touches they need to work within their range of stereotype.
