The first two novels in Ruckley’s trilogy, Winterbirth and Bloodheir, both had attractive covers, and it looks like the concluding volume will continue that trend.
A little known fact is that that that grizzly looking fellow on the cover is in fact Brian Ruckley himself!*
*This is not true.
Via Pat, here’s a glimpse at the upcoming US edition of Richard K. Morgan’s The Steel Remains, which just released on the other side of the pond in the UK.
I will abstain from mentioning how much better the UK cover was.
Via Pat’s Fantasy Hotlist, I just ran across the US cover for Scott Lynch’s upcoming novel, The Republic of Thieves.
It’s keeping with the style of the US paperback release of The Lies of Locke Lamora, but I’m not really sure if that’s a good thing or not, I was more a fan of the Gollancz editions of the novels. If you ask me, CG Art and Fantasy don’t mix. Ever.
Take a look at the cover for Lynch’s upcoming Novella collection, The Bastards and the Knives for an example of what Gollancz is doing.
An early draft of the cover for Tobias Buckell’s upcoming novel, The Cole Protocol has emerged. This is Buckell’s first novel in the Halo universe and is the first time in years that I’m actually considering reading a liscensed novel. I’m such a Buckell fanboy, it’s sick….
Hey, I was out to see a movie, but I got notice that this is actually *not* the final cover, but a draft that somehow ended up on Amazon. Explains why I wasn’t aware of it until you guys emailed me the Amazon.com link and heads up. So it’s a draft, an initial sketch.
Pretty amazing for a draft, huh?
A couple of months ago I posted of what seemed, at the time, to be the UK cover art for Terry Brooks’ The Gypsy Morph. Well, it looks like Orbit changed their mind and this new cover has recently popped up online.
I think I like the epic nature of the original shot over the newly released one.
