This manuscript was discovered after the untimely death of Michael Crichton. I was prepared to like it and I did. It started a bit slow but then took off. It is a pure pirate adventure. Very fast read. I learned something I never knew that I didn't know. The difference between a privateer and a pirate. Privateers operate under the auspices of a higher authority;e.g. the king(England here)who gets a share of the booty, the governor of the island and whomever has a hand in granting permission. Pirates don't have to share with authorities but upon capture are hung.

Igave this book a 3.55 but it turned into a 5.
