Anyone run across an alternate universe novel, I thinks, by the above name? The most striking feature is a pyrate republic consisting of a miles-wide raft of ships, some of them hundreds of years old. Cant find the thing, nor the author.

Okay, finally, FINALLY, I got this straight. The actual title of the book is "The Scar" , to wit:

The Scar

by China Mieville

Publisher: Del Rey; (June 25, 2002)

ISBN: 0345444388

Lest ye gets the idea this is a romance novel, China Mieville is male, british, shaved, earringed, and looks more like a punked out Mr. Clean than Dorothy Lamore.

The book is fascinating, an alternative Earth with multiple races and at its center a vast floating pirate city called ARMADA which has been at sea for literally millenia, a gigantic raft of taken ships.

Well worth readin.
