New cover art for Christopher Priest's THE ISLANDERS

Gollancz have sent me a new working image for the cover of Christopher Priest's long-awaited new novel, The Islanders, due out in the autumn:


Intriguing, and retro. Reminds me of those old Pan paperbacks from the 1980s with the crisp white spines and the multi-coloured 3D images that look like they've come off an Archimedes computer. I like the clean lines of it, very cool. Interesting to see how it changes between now and publication.

    As Art Director of Pan/Picador throughout the 80s I am intrigued by the parallel you draw but at a bit of a loss as to which covers match that description! Pleased you found them cool though.

    Is this just a repackaging of Dream Archipelago?

    Thank you

    No, it's a new novel set in the Dream Archipelago setting.
