Pirate Latitudes

This book was found as a finished manuscript after the death of the author. Like just about everything I've read by him, the narrative hums along at a fast clip and deserves to be called a page-turner. Set in 1665, this is a straightforward pirate adventure tale complete with sea battles, treachery, treasure, swordfights, and even an encounter with a kraken! Great for a quick read but not otherwise memorable.
