Crichton, Michael: PIRATE LATITUDES

Jamaica 1665. A lone British outpost in Spanish-controlled Caribbean waters. Its capital, Port Royal, a cutthroat town of taverns and bawdy houses - the last place anyone would expect an attack to be launched on a Spanish stronghold. Yet that is the plan of renowned privateer Captain Charles Hunter and Charles II´s ruling governor, Sir Jame Almont.

The target is the sheer-cliffed and impregnable Matanceros, guarded by the bloodthirsty Cazalla. Hunter´s ragtag crew of buccaneers must brave raging hurricanes, cannibals, sea monsters and the Spanish fleet.
