From history, I know of Spain warring with England for colonies. But it is with this book I learn of the difference between pirating and privateering.
Crichton writes interesting books based on scientific theories. I well remember how impressed I was with The Andromeda Strain. This is the first of his that I read that is historical. A lot of research and imagination must have been through to result in such a piece of work. Somehow I felt a little disappointed with Pirate Latitudes.
