Republic of Pirates, now in China



A parcel of these arrived in the mail the other day: the handsome, simplified Chinese edition of The Republic of Pirates from Social Sciences Academic Press in Beijing. I'm pleased the book is now available in the world's most populous country. (The title there is apparently

海盗共和国:骷髅旗飘扬、民主之火燃起的海盗黄金年代 精装.)


For those in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao, Republic of Pirates is also available in complex Chinese from Taipei's Business Weekly.

My only other title to be translated into Chinese is Ocean's End: Travels Through Endangered Seas, but I suspect that's now out of print.

Republic of Pirates, now in Chinese


I'm pleased to report that my third book, The Republic of Pirates, is now available in a Taiwanese Mandarin translation from Taipei's Cite/Business Weekly group. I particularly like the cover.

The publisher's web page for the title is here. It's the second of my books to be translated into Chinese, the first being Ocean's End: Travels Through Endangered Seas, which was released in the People's Republic of China by Yiwen Shanghai in 2002. 

Republic of Pirates is also available in U.K, Spanish, Portuguese, Danish, Hungarian, Polish, and audiobook editions and is the inspiration for the NBC series "Crossbones" which is currently airing in Poland and Germany.

[Update, 1/1/2018: This title is now also available in simplified Chinese from China's Social Sciences Academic Press in Beijing.]
