\n

Captain Ean Tephe is a man of faith, whose allegiance to his lord and to his ship is uncontested. The Bishopry Militant knows this — and so, when it needs a ship and crew to undertake a secret, sacred mission to a hidden land, Tephe is the captain to whom the task is given.<\/p>\n

Tephe knows from that the start that his mission will be a test of his skill as a leader of men and as a devout follower of his god. It\u2019s what he doesn\u2019t know that matters: to what ends his faith and his ship will ultimately be put — and that the tests he will face will come not only from his god and the Bishopry Militant, but from another, more malevolent source entirely…<\/p>\n

Author John Scalzi has ascended to the top ranks of modern science fiction with the best-selling, Hugo-nominated novels Old Man\u2019s War and Zoe\u2019s Tale. Now he tries his hand at fantasy, with a dark and different novella that takes your expectations of what fantasy is and does, and sends them tumbling.<\/p>\n

Say your prayers… and behold The God Engines.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In a word: Excellent. I\u2019m deeply pleased with this cover. In fact it\u2019s being made the sole cover for the novella, because it is more accurate for the story in tone and imagery. This is not to take away from the previous cover, which had qualities of its own. But this cover is very close to what I saw in my own mind\u2019s eye when I was writing the tale.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Certainly a step up from the previous cover<\/a>… which was a little weird. Art is by the always sharp Vincent Chong<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
