And the buyer in me would pick them up in a library :)<br /><br />Anonymous, you made me even more curious.

Steven, I ...Adele, I like that one the most too :)<br /><br />Steven, I understand you :)<br />I didn't get the chance to read any of Neal Asher's novels, yet. However, I have to admit that I like this cover for "Cowl" more. And I am speaking from the perspective of a buyer went into a library. Comparing it with the other two covers I know of, the first edition from Tor UK and the Tor US one, I still go with this one. I like a more simple cover, for instance those from Joe Abercrombie's novels, but I find the one from Tor UK first edition too ambiguous in this instance :)<br /><br />Cindy, as long as I can build further on the character in my imagination it works for me. "Farlander" is one this and I liked it a lot. Especially since it made me interested in a new author and his debut novel. I just wait to see what is between the covers :)Mihai A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08534691063946241019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3991760003960066476.post-69667217511984796612009-09-15T09:42:45.196+03:002009-09-15T09:42:45.196+03:00Farlander looks pretty nice!

In the case of Farlander it looks like you still have a lot of room to elaborate on the character.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10285417085465806153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3991760003960066476.post-62117296843550323642009-09-14T23:58:42.354+03:002009-09-14T23:58:42.354+03:00The cover on the copy of Cowl that I have gives NO...The cover on the copy of Cowl that I have gives NO visual representation of the titular monster. That ambiguity and some great copy on the back of the book were enough for me to declare Neal Asher as a favorite writer of mine even before I read a single novel. I have a 1/2 dozen of his novels on my shelf now waiting to be read. THIS cover would not have held any interest for me. Taking the impossibly alien and imagining it as a bug sort of feels like putting a black and white photograph of a giant squid on Call of Cuthulu... which I have also not read. I may very well be a useless windbag today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3991760003960066476.post-59718278089348431122009-09-14T20:55:53.393+03:002009-09-14T20:55:53.393+03:00ooooh pretties.
