I'm currently reading White Seed: The Untold Story of the Lost Colony of Roanoke by MobileRead member Paul Clayton. I'm almost finished now and it's really spellbinding; but one thing surprised the heck out of me, and I can only assume it's a misprint (unless Paul Clayton works for DC comics).

In chapter 34 of my Kindle edition, I discovered the following curiosity:

.....Captain Stafford had Superman signal the charge on his trumpet and they raced into the square.

Superman???

Maybe The Man of Steel rescues the Lost Colony in the final chapter by flying around the Earth faster than light in a counter-clockwise direction and changing history!

Seriously, though; White Seed is a wonderful and imaginative retelling of the true-life mystery, and I highly recommend it.

And no, Superman—except for that one obvious misprint—isn't one of the characters.
