He sometimes thinks back to his boyhood pirating days, but he doesn't miss Teague's scrutiny or the constant threat of the noose. Besides, he doesn't have much choice—he broke the Code when he freed a friend who had been accused of rogue piracy, and he can no longer show his face in Shipwreck Cove. When Jack's ship is attacked by pirates and his captain dies in the altercation, he suddenly finds himself in command. Review: Fun! - When I was a kid, I read Tim Powers' On Stranger Tides, and loved its mix of pirates and magic. When the Pirates of the Caribbean movies came out, I became a huge fan for the same reasons. I wanted more stories along those lines, so when this tie-in novel (the first Pirates of the Caribbean novel not aimed at grade school readers) came along, I couldn't wait to read it. Unlike many tie-in novels, it's a substantial read, at over 650 pages. It's also satisfying, without feeling overlong or superfluous. It tells the story of young Jack Sparrow at a couple of turning points in his life. In it, A.C. Crispin captures the feel of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and the voice of Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow, without directly copying stuff from the movies. What makes this novel interesting to me is the focus on Sparrow himself. In the movies, he's entertaining, but the sort of character who can't grow or develop or change. The movies are about his adventures, but they aren't about him. This novel gives fans a unique opportunity to see Jack develop into the man we see on the screen. It wouldn't necessarily make a good Pirates movie, because it deviates too far from that formula. But as a novel, it makes a good supplement. My one real complaint is that Crispin alludes to numerous events in Jack's childhood which really should be as important as the stuff we actually do see in the book. I have to guess that these events are depicted in the juvenile chapter books that have already been published. That's fine, but those books are mostly out of print now, and also aimed at a different audience than this novel. So it would have been nice, as an older reader, to get some more detail in this book. Overall, this is a surprisingly well-written tie-in novel, and one I very willingly recommend to fans of the movie series. I don't want to see a series of Jack Sparrow adventure novels; those are the stories the movies should tell, and just doing more in books would take the specialness away from both. But as a one-off story fleshing out the background of Jack Sparrow, this is pretty cool. Review: Wonderful book! - miss crispin did a magnificent job on this book :) She captured the voices of everyone perfectly and the richness of details was amazing! It felt like I was right there with Jack & everyone throughout all their adventures, found myself missing everyone soon as I finished the last page *hugs book to chest* i can see myself reading this many more times in the future (i also plan buying this as birthday/christmas gifts). The first meeting of Jack/Barbossa was different than I expected but it was interesting... loved having a little more insight into Hector (maybe disney will commission his backstory as well... i would buy it) I didn't care for Cutler Beckett in POTC but I wanted to strangle him even more in the book... i had a little sympathy for him in a flashback scene but it was ripped away not very long after... miss crispin did an excellent job fleshing him out and giving him more depth. Teague is a bit of bastard haha, but he's an intriguing person... wouldn't want to be on his bad side haha. the novel answers alot of questions I had about Jack but still leaves a few I'm hoping Disney will answer one day. Miss Crispin's writing sucks you right in and doesn't let go, I found it very hard to put it down. Highly recommend this book! :) many kudos to Anne Crispin, hope they tap you for the next 'Pirates' book (if there will be one down the road) In my opinion, i would love for disney to adapt this into a feature film (I could see Jordana Brewster as Esmeralda, what do you think?) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #169,074 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #102 in Pop Culture (Kindle Store) #469 in Historical Fantasy Fiction #616 in Pop Culture Art | ## Images ![Pirates of the Caribbean: The Price of Freedom - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81zPZ6vVlaL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun! *by A***N on June 25, 2011* When I was a kid, I read Tim Powers' On Stranger Tides, and loved its mix of pirates and magic.

If she falls a hair short, it's likely because 100% success in that task really is impossible. (Full disclosure: Ann is a friend of mine.) But she comes very close, and she tells a ripping good adventure yarn in the process. When we meet young Jack Sparrow, he has some of his trademark idiosyncracies, but he's making his way as an honest, even principled officer in the merchant trade. He's a pirate who ran away fom piracy under a death sentence from his fellows. Jack has no problem with the pirate's life of armed robbery. However, he has one core value (although I was not clear on exactly how it was instilled in him). That value is the unwillingness to see anyone unjustly imprisoned or enslaved, and that gets him in trouble with both pirates and "honest" people. When he tries going straight, he initially finds that he likes living the captain's life without the constant fear of a noose. However, Cutler Beckett (who Crispin manages to make a three-dimensional if still villianous character) is going to teach Jack that the "honest" life can require compromising himself until he yearns for the freedom of the pirate's way. All this is explored in a world of magical trappings, a hidden island, two beautiful women who love Jack, a fabled lost treasure, and a rich portrait of life on a sailing ship of Jack's era. There are swordfights, rescues, and displays of Jack's ability to improvise his way out of almost - almost - any situation. There are some comic moments, such as a servant in Beckett's home explaining the newly fashionable concept of a "bath" to the puzzled pirate and Jack's attempt to mount a rescue on horseback when he has only the vaguest idea how to ride. We meet most of the characters from the first (and, as far as I'm concerned, only) Pirates movie, and its events flow naturally out of the deal Jack makes with dark forces to save himself from death at Beckett's hands and set himself up once more in the pirating trade. The Price of Freedom is not a flawless novel (it could have been a bit shorter, for one thing), but it's a very good introduction to the POTC universe. If you like the movies (or even some of them), this novel won't disappoint you. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/107587403-pirates-of-the-caribbean-the-price-of-freedom](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/107587403-pirates-of-the-caribbean-the-price-of-freedom) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-25*
