Caribbean Sea. 1665 Jamaica, a distant British colony, and essentially a free pirate state, confronts the power of the Spanish empire. The life of a sea robber is full of ferocious romance, but too short. If a tropical disease doesn't cut it off, a cannonball, or a cutlass, or a hangman's rope will. Therefore, there will be no shortage of desperate assistants for the captain who plans to storm an impregnable fortress and recapture a galleon full of gold. “Jurassic Park”, “Sphere”. "Congo" and Michael Crichton's other bestsellers have been published in many countries, the total number of copies exceeding one hundred and fifty million. The novel “Pirate Latitudes” was discovered in the archives of the famous writer after his death.
