A pleasant surprise this month:
The Republic of Pirates made
the New York Times Bestseller List for the Travel category. Based on sales in the month of September here in the United States, it came it at number 6.
The book -- a history of the infamous pirate gang of which Blackbeard was a member -- was the inspiration for the NBC series "
Crossbones" and influenced Starz' "Black Sails" and Ubisoft's
Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag (which are both set with this gang). Its long been available in Spanish and Danish translations, but this year also in
U.K,
Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Hungarian, and Chinese (Taiwan) editions.
