I'd be interested if you'd point those out (or some, if there
are too many).

My impression of /Pirate Freedom/ is what James Jordan confirmed--
it was a YA book.  The time travel is obviously necessary if
you want to have a contemporary (or quasi-modern) become a
Pirate of the Caribbean.  Brother Ignacio's being the older
Chris was predictable for someone who's read a lot of sf, and
maybe unnecesary--Chris can try to go back just by going to
the monastery in Cuba, without knowing who he's going to turn
into.
