Captain Black the Space Pirate is putting up recruiting posters because my Corsair is ready to sail!

I just got my first author copy of the hardback and it looks great. The cover is all swirly outer-spacey, but inside the book is pure pirate adventure. The designer at Tor Books did something very clever by choosing to set the book in Garamond — a type invented back in the Golden Age of Piracy.

For the next three or four months, every day is going to be Talk Like A Pirate Day at my house.

Shiver me timbers!
