I found this quit interesting too. I'm liking some of the concepts placed into the world being described so far.

I've also posted an article on this here, with a little bit more info on the story.

SlashFilm has also posted (according to them) four images of some of the characters in the book.

Shark-men, ninjas and burlesque girls... I wonder if the shark-men will have lasers?
