I think the Gollancz art department has been watching way too much of this music video recently (the cover seems to have been inspired by the inexplicable boat explosion at 1:51):

Cover art for Sam Sykes's BLACK HALO
Once again, Geralt of Rivia (albeit looking distinctly less albino this time around) seems to have found his way onto the wrong book cover. In fact, this is pretty similar to the first book, except this time he's on a boat and the boat has been inundated with water which is on fire. Awesome. This is actually a striking cover image and is far more dynamic than the static cover of the first book, even if it is gratuitously OTT.

This one actually came as a result of the Pyr initiative. Gollancz is using it, though.
ReplyDeleteI quite like it. Chris Dane Owens is a guest star in the next book.
As long as he still walks dramatically forward, thinks better of it, and decides to walk casually back into a massive fireball, that's great news :-)
ReplyDeleteI think I'll try to include a pirate ship exploding for no immediate reason, either.
ReplyDeleteYou will piss yourself with glee.
Poor Geralt, he does get around a bit.
ReplyDeleteAnd in more than one way!
That might be the greatest music video of all time. Should be coming to SyFy as a movie any day now.
