Very nice indeed.
Update: This isn't the cover, but one of the interior plates. The image being depicted is the shipyards at Gurkha that Ferro sees in the book.

It's very nice, but what has it got to do with the book? The picture doesn't seem related to anything in TBI, or even the rest of the series.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I can tell, it's the canal spanned by the bridges leading to the House of the Maker in Adua.
ReplyDeleteIt could be that, though I'm thinking it's more likely that ruined city they go to at the end of book 2 (forget if it even had a name) where they are attached by the wossnames, the smelly dudes.
ReplyDeleteEither way it looks very cool.
Dont think it's anywhere in Adua, it does look like it could be a part of the Old Empire but then like Jebus says thats in Before They Are Hanged?
ReplyDeleteIt does look very industial, metallic looking not what I'd image for any structures featured in the book. I cant think of anything described in this way?
what the fuck?
ReplyDeletethis..dosent look like anything ive read in the books. nice art, but one problem, its for the wrong book.
