Captain
Joe Bierden takes a research team, including parapsychologists Jacob
and Mary Parsons, to the town of Golden Cove to embark upon a
month-long diving expedition, only to encounter the Deep Ones and
ghostly pirates. Joe’s wife is from Black Stone Bay. Golden
Cove is allegedly built on the site where Innsmouth, which allegedly
was completely demolished by the FBI in their raid on the town, once
stood. Since Innsmouth is shown as still existing after the events of
Lovecraft’s story in several accounts, this must be
considered fictionalization in order to maintain CU continuity. More likely, Golden Cove is actually a neighboring
town to Innsmouth, since many of its citizens possess “the
Innsmouth look.” Jacob and Mary Parsons first appeared in The
Pack,
the second novel in Moore’s Serenity
Falls Trilogy; the trilogy's protagonist, Jonathan Crowley, is in the CU through other crossovers.
Black
Stone Bay is the setting of Moore’s novels Blood
Red and
Blood
Harvest.

At first I thought it said Captain Joe Biden. I imagined the gaffe prone Vice-President to be fighting the Deep Ones!
