Hey guys,
I'm reading the Future Shark trilogy aloud for a project I have in mind and I need help with the pronunciation of the name of our favorite shark mutant.

Is it Arm-a-goon, Arm-a-gone, or what?

I pronounce it ar-mah-GONE.

But English is not my first language.

Sounds good to me, I just know as a wee kid I pronounced it Ar-Mah-Goon....in re-reading the trilogy, Ar-mah-gone makes more sense.

I've always pronounced it like Armageddon with the 'geddon' replaced by 'ghan'. 'Arma-gone' sounds too non-threatening and reminiscent on lazy southern drawl for my tastes. So, that's my two dollars on the subject.
