Play name that ship and win!

In my upcoming book THE FINAL SACRIFICE, the emperor's flagship will play a pivotal role, and I've decided to let one of my readers have the honor of naming that ship. To enter, send in your suggestion, and if you have the winning name, you'll win autographed books plus an acknowledgement in THE FINAL SACRIFICE.

To enter simply post your suggestion as a comment to this entry, or visit my website at http://www.patriciabray.com for instructions on how to enter via e-mail.

The ship name should be suitably dashing, heroic, and avoid any names that are already associated with well-known ships, such as The Good Ship Lollipop, HMS Bounty or RMS Titanic, to name a few.

Contest closes at midnight on August 20th. One entry per person, please.

Good luck!

How about Dawn's Victory? (And then it could be "the Victory" for short. May be overoptimistic, for all I know, but definitely heroic ...)

I know it's too late but I think that "Chimera" would have been a good name for the ship, considering the dual nature of the Emperor.

BTW...love you books. Keep 'em coming.
