Pirate Latitudes

Pirate Latitudes was the best Michael Crichton ever wrote, right before he died in 2008. His finest yet for his literary swan song. This was about privateer Charles Hunter's adventure on the great blue ocean as a pirate in the 1600s. From Jamaica Colony to Mataceneros, Spain, this had everything you could expect for everything he had written in the past--action adventure, historical facts and tons of drama for a thriller with a hint of romance. This would be even great as a future film. From start to finish, you'll root for Hunter and his uncanny crew to journey north. And when he returned, he didn't get much for a hero's welcome, when the tables had been turned on him. Charles Hunter was the final one to have his own say. You'll root for his foiled nemesis to walk the dreaded plank. Well done!

For this historical thriller, this one was packed with a punch. To set the scenes as a privateer in the 1600s, this had the makings of a fine novel. I did love the Jamaica, England and Spain locations, when he sailed on his pirate ship. I also liked Charles Hunter and hated the people who wanted to do him in. They were too many to name or to remember. This packed tons of drama and action with every twisted turn you can ever imagine. You would be awed and amazed with this one fine novel.

State of Fear

If you love thrillers with a hint of scientific fact, you'll enjoy State of Fear by the late Michael Crichton. Peter Evans was an environmental lawyer and worked for a multi-millionaire, when an eco-terrorist group had threatened to target humans in order to save the planet. Peter's client, George Morton, believed it's been spearheaded by Nicholas Drake, the leader of the NERF organization. Between Peter and George, they would divert Drake's action from getting excess money with a new contract. While there was a global warming war out there, the real battle was between Evans and Drake. In this futuristic techno-thriller and eco-thriller, this had gotten action-packed page-turners in every scene and chapters, filled with suspense, drama, intrigue and lots of surprises. You'll be at the edge of the seat with this one. So be wary of global warming, if lightning doesn't strike twice. This is a good read.

This was another great and earlier classic Michael Crichton thriller. It had a glimpse of a futuristic eco-thriller. It dealt with eco-terrorism and our planet as a hole with global warming. I loved Peter Evans and his fight for justice with George Morton. I didn't like Nicholas Drake that much. This one packed a helluva punch with action, drama and tons of suspense in every page. You would care for Peter and the love for the planet, too.
