Hayakawa's neat...

I haven't yet seen or heard anything on GCA yet (why should I, it's only been a month or two since the deal was done, and I'd figure the translation alone will take several months), but while trying to figure my way around a site in a language I can't read, I DID come across Sarah Hoyt's Darkship Thieves/Dark Ship entry, and the cover certainly looks kickass.

ETA: The link I used got changed, so I found a hard-link to the actual cover JPG.

So I'm keeping my fingers crossed for both an excellent translation and a buttkicking cover. I love the original cover for GCA, make no mistake, but I look forward to seeing what the Japanese decide to do for it; I'm hoping for an anime-manga style translation of the imagery, sort of the way Weber's Honor Harrington novels ended up (here's the one for Honor Among Enemies).

I followed the link to look at the Japanese cover of Darkship, and the little block on that book was text only. Is there someplace else on the site to find that cover?

Fixed.

That is cool. I like it more than I like the US one, and I'm generally in favor of naked women on book-covers. There may be something wrong with me. :-(
