Front Cover Finished

[Malik]

And no, you can't see it yet. I'll be doing a reveal soon--I need to rework the back-cover copy--but I had to tell somebody. It is stunning. Movie-poster quality.

I'll post it here when I do the reveal.

That is all.

Ooh, a text-only version of click-bait. Well done, comrade!

 

[Avery Moore]

I... But... No! You can't make a post to tell everybody that your book cover is finished and then not show us your book cover! That's cheating!

 

[Malik]

Okay, fine. Here's the front.

The full cover will follow when the copy is finished, and I have a definite release date, and it's up for pre-order.

Nice! Congrats on getting it done. That cover indicates a very clear genre, and I like the blurb at the top that reinforces that. Lovely!

 

[Fidel]

Ooooh, now you’ve got me intrigued! Good job on the cover!

Ooooh, now you’ve got me intrigued! Good job on the cover!

Thanks!

I love that the soldiers are in modern military gear--as befits the story--but the rest of it has that classic 70's-80's Michael Whelan feel. The landscape could be from an Asimov magazine 40-50 years ago. She really nailed it.

I agree with your description of the art, Malik. But you did stir up some nostalgia soup with the magazine reference. I do miss those.

Totally agree! The blend of modern military gear with that classic retro sci-fi vibe is spot-on. It’s like a perfect homage to the golden age of sci-fi art, feels fresh yet nostalgic.

Congratulations, anyway.

Congratulations, anyway.

I posted the front cover further upthread. Here you go:
