Pirate Latitudes - Michael Crichton

Captain Hunter, a character that was introduced as a pirate but was explained later as a noble privateer. I was told about Hunter's past and I found that Hunter had lost his brother in a Spanish Battalion Island called Matanceros by a pirate named Cazalla. Before we go into details about Hunter's plan, there are a few background details we should know. So to start off, one of Cazalla's ships had encountered a merchant ship going along the coast of Jamaica. The merchant ship was sunk and its treasure was taken to Matanceros. Next, Hunter has a bounty on his head for his privateering and raids among Islands. Okay, so now that we know those facts we can now talk about Hunter's plans. Hunter wanted to go to the Island of Matanceros, where Cazalla resides, to find the treasure from the merchant ship and to also take revenge on Cazalla. He couldn't do this alone so he had to recruit a crew that he could take with him. This wasn't no ordinary crew, Hunter picked a crew with specific abilities. Briefly, we have a man who was amazing at creating black powder weapons, a lady who's eyesight was amazing day AND night, and a man who was mute due to battle but was spectacularly strong and disciplined. This was Hunters crew. I don't trust this crew and I reckon that someone is going to betray them.

Pirate Latitudes - ENG Reading Challenge Term 1

This book takes place in Port Royal, a fictional stage where the beginning of the book "Pirate Latitudes" begins. Sir James Almont, the first character introduced in this book,  is spoken as a highly prestigious character; of which that he is. He was appointed by another newly introduced character named Charles II, the Governor of Jamaica. Sir James Almont is said to also be a widower with the double up of pain from a plague called "The Gout" which causes him pains. From what I have read so far, it sounds as if the "military" on Port Royal is planning an attack on a Spanish Isla in the middle of the ocean named "Matenceros". This Isla is brought up to be some invulnerable Isla that has been armed to the brim and has gold harbored in its docks. Captain Hunter, the leader of this so-called attack, has been trying to gather a crew to go with him.
