Description: "Unabashed fun." -- Cameron Martin, New York Times "Offers unexpected turns and plenty of yo ho ho's." -- Richard Eisenberg, People (3 out of 4 stars) "It's not an ironic pirate novel. It's not a pirate novel with a secret gimmick. It's simply an entertaining tale filled with crafty privateers, despicable villains, treasure hoards, double crosses and a sea monster. Go figure." -- Michael Berry, San Francisco Chronicle "A lusty, rollicking 17th century adventure.... History as entertainment.... Crichton has done his homework." -- Bob Minzesheimer, USA Today "The plot sucks you in like the giant kraken monster that nearly sinks our hero's galleon." -- Benjamin Svetsky, Entertainment Weekly
