Description
Pirate Latitudes takes us back to 1665, when Charles II's Jamaican colony is under threat from the Spanish empire. Set in the crowded and lawless capital of Port Royal, this gripping tale follows Captain Charles Hunter as he navigates a complex web of crime and politics.
With tacit royal sanction, privateer ship captains like Hunter can make sorties against Spanish ships and outposts, plundering at will - as long as they're careful not to cross the Governor or King Charles. When Hunter learns that a treasure galleon is anchored in the heavily fortified Spanish island of Matanceros, he sees an opportunity to take on Philip of Spain's ruthless enforcer, Cazalla.
The stage is set for a thrilling adventure that could end in either glory or disaster. Will Hunter and his crew succeed in their daring plan, or will they meet a grisly end? Pirate Latitudes is a gripping tale of survival, politics, and piracy, set against the vibrant backdrop of 17th-century Jamaica.
