In doing so, it mentions Pirate Freedom: "Wolfe said that the ideal of freedom has been running through his work lately, and "Memorare" is just one manifestation of it. "March's hopper [spacecraft] is a 21st-century version of Chris' pirate ship in Pirate Freedom [to be published in September]," he said. "Chris is the son of a mafioso in Cuba. He slips backward in time to the great age of [western] piracy, lives for about two years as a sailor, a buccaneer and a pirate, then slides forward in time to the time of his own birth."
