Īccording to Jonathan Burnham, a publisher of a HarperCollins imprint, Pirate Latitudes had been written concurrently with Crichton's then most recent novel, Next (2006).Īccording to Marla Warren, however, there is evidence that Crichton had been working on Pirate Latitudes at least since the 1970s to substantiate her position, she quotes a statement by Patrick McGilligan in the March 1979 issue of American Film that Crichton was aiming "to complete a long-standing book project about Caribbean pirates in the seventeenth century." Īdditionally, in 1981, Crichton said he was working on a pirate story, and he mentioned the project in his non-fiction book Travels (1988). Crichton's assistant discovered the manuscript on one of the author's computers after Crichton's death in 2008, along with an unfinished novel, Micro (2011).
