I'm a big fan of Crichton's and will miss getting a new book every 2 to 3 years from him, as well as watching ER, now that it has come to an end after 15 seasons.
The first, coming this November is Pirate Latitudes. From the official press release:
It's Pirates of the Caribbean from the author of Jurassic Park!Pirate Latitudes is an adventure story about piracy in the New World. Set in 1665, when Jamaica was a British colony holding out against Spanish dominance, the story centers on a plan hatched by the island's governor and a notorious pirate called Hunter to raid a Spanish treasure galleon. Fast-moving and suspenseful, Pirate Latitudes is a historical classic from one of America's best-loved authors. The novel was discovered amongst Crichton's files and was written contemporaneously with Next, published in 2006.
Jonathan Burnham, Senior Vice President and Publisher of Harper, says, "Pirate Latitudes is a fantastically enjoyable and light-hearted adventure yarn about pirates and profiteers in 17th century Jamaica. It is deeply researched and full of lively historical detail, and it shows Crichton going back to the territory he explored in novels such as The Great Train Robbery - old-fashioned entertainment, with a twist."
The 2nd yet untitled book will be finished by a co-author and released in 2010. It's two be a techno thriller as is the norm for Crichton's books. For the full press release:
