RedEyedGhost Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Not sure what you mean here.That's an asteroid settlement. The red portal is the docking bay, the huge outer piece floating in space is a background asteroid. The folded-out section isn't folded out, it's just the structure of the rock.I'm guessing this is the Ayachuco asteroid in the Dorados belt, which doesn't suffer any calamitous explosions or other incidents in the book (well, not to its exterior, anyway).I can see what you're saying there, and I think that makes me like it even less. Poor job depicting the scene, for those that haven't read the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renasko Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Quite like the look of the cover. I want that jacket Rand is wearing. :P Don't much mind him wearing red jackets, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookWyrm Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Michael Moorcock's new novel. :)Yes, that Michael Moorcock.No, I'm not kidding.Blurb.I always thought that authors did novelizations of television shows because they needed the cash.... I never would have thought Moorcock was in particularly dire straits... am I wrong about either of those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I always thought that authors did novelizations of television shows because they needed the cash.... I never would have thought Moorcock was in particularly dire straits... am I wrong about either of those?According to Moorcock he is a huge Doctor Who fan and has been since way back, and several times apparently almost wrote for the TV show (during Douglas Adams' tenure as script editor, IIRC). He wanted to do the project, pure and simple. He certainly didn't need the cash.More correctly, it's also a tie-in, not a novelization of the TV show. I am intrigued by the references to his Eternal Champion books though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renasko Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I always thought that authors did novelizations of television shows because they needed the cash.... Quite wrong. I can't speak for Moorcock, personally (Wert did that), but I've read author's like Michael Stackpole, Paul S. Kemp, etc. speak of writing Star Wars novelisations from a fans point of view. Sure, the wad of cash on top helps, but it must make the process a lot easier if they're writing in a setting they greatly enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitman13 Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 US cover for the Night Shade Books release of Dark Space by Marianne de Pierres. I quite like this one and it's a nice style that I think will suit the series well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paxter Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Not sure if this really belongs here (since it's not SF/F), but cover art for Bakker's second thriller Disciple of the Dog has surfaced.Pretty average really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuenjato Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Ohh, so Rambo is the new character?Aside from the fact that the guy looks nothing like Stallone... ?It's a striking image, conveying a certain violent desperation, and the weak watery sun immediately makes me think of the Great Ordeal trekking to the Horns. It's about standard in comparison to the preceeding books, though incongruent without all the frillery surrounding the face. I certainly prefer it to the 'hooded wanderer' we see so much these days.I hoped they might put up an artistic rendition like TJE's ARC cover... perhaps they still will.

beniowa Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Eh, it looks like a cheap movie poster. I wasn't impressed with the cover for The Judging Eye, but this one looks incredibly lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is from the publisher's new catalog:http://booksellers.penguin.com/static/pdf/viking-winter11.pdfThis isn't bad. I think they need to make the face smaller to go along with the rest of the books and it would look alot better. Seems a little too much face right now.
