Pirate Latitudes

This book was fun, light and highly entertaining. Michael Crichton is one of the few authors whose overall tone and subject matter are highly variable from book to book yet almost never fails to hold my interest even on a topic that normally wouldn't....Disclosure and Rising Sun come to mind. I know this novel was published posthumously, a few years ago I remember hearing of his death, and it's always a bit sad knowing there won't be any more forthcoming.
