“Pirate fans will love the book for its flashy characters and historical authenticity. Crime fans will enjoy the caper-novel structure and the way the author keeps them on their toes. If this really is Crichton’s final book, it’s a splendid send-off: something new, different, and daring.”
— Booklist (starred review)
Quotes

“Unabashed fun.”
— New York Times -
“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.”
— San Francisco Chronicle -
“The plot sucks you in like the giant kraken monster that nearly sinks our hero’s galleon.”
