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).
