Pirate Latitudes
Amazon writes, "Word in port is that the Spanish treasure galleon El Trinidad, fresh from New
Spain, is stalled in nearby Matanceros harbor awaiting repairs. Heavily
fortified, the impregnable Spanish outpost is guarded by the blood-swiller
Cazalla, a favorite commander of King Philip IV himself. With the governor′s
backing, Hunter assembles a roughneck crew to infiltrate the enemy island and
commandeer the galleon, along with its fortune in Spanish gold. The raid is as
perilous as the bloody legends of Matanceros suggest, and Hunter will lose more
than one man before he finds himself on the island′s shores, where dense jungle
and the firepower of Spanish infantry are all that stand between him and the
treasure." I say BORING and DOUBLE BORING. I usually LOVE Crichton stuff, but this was horrible. All in all, I say: SKIP IT
