For Your Viewing Pleasure: Hurricane Moon

I let this one sit up at Meme Therapy for a bit, where it was part of the interview with artist Brian W. Dow. But now I think we can show it here, along with the front cover layout. Illustration is by Brian, with design from Brian & Prometheus in-house artist Nicole Lecht, who makes her Pyr debut. The book - the first novel from Analog regular Alexis Glynn Latner - is slated for a July 2007 release. A story of planetary colonization, full of danger, romance and interpersonal conflict, Dow captures the spirit of the book beautifully in his wrap-around illustration. Do you trust that guy in the bottom left? I'm not sure you should.

  2. Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it. And yeah, the book really is amazing. Lots of detail and layers of characterization. Great human dilemmas. A complete joy to illustrate.

  3. The book has both romance, and the hard scientific extrapolation you'd expect of an Analog regular. Somehow, I think Brian's cover and the type treatment manages to speak to both.
