Golden Dream

https://twitter.com/RixxJavix/status/1823777943794885036

I don't really do "favorites", but this made me think about Golden Dream by Michael Whelan. This book came around during a time when I was devouring everything science-fiction and fantasy, I was literally reading 10 books a week. I had discovered a writer named H.Beam Piper who had written several series, if you can find anything about his Paratime Police it is worth finding. One such series was based on an alien race called Fuzzies. H. Beam's life was a sad one and it ended early, but several other writers based more stories in his universe. This being one of them.

This was right when I was really starting to notice the art on covers and the artists behind them. And for whatever reason, this specific cover was the first one that truly resonated with me. I became a huge fan of Michael Whelan's work over the years and even took a class with him at one point later in life. I have a signed and numbered framed print of this cover in my collection. And I even created my own alien race based on the Fuzzies, which I featured in several comic books I wrote and illustrated early in my career.

So while it isn't my favorite exactly, it does hold a very special place in my heart. And I thought it worth sharing.

It's fairly minimalistic, but it has to be the cover for Night Angel Nemesis by Brent Weeks.

This is the sequel to a trilogy, and simple though it may be, if you read the original Night Angel series this cover immediately shows you how far Kylar has come from the end of the previous books and how far he still has to climb. Or fall.

Half the World by Joe Abercrombie, cover art by Mike Bryan, David Lomax and Robert Harding.

The illustration includes the boat that the main character is chained to, while the wave shows the war that is about to overwhelm and destroy his people.

I know I talk about ‘The Hobbit’ on here a lot… but I’m going to again. This is the first book I ever chose to read myself and I have read this book to death, so much so that the front cover fell off.

The art style is gorgeous and the sketchy/unfinished nature of the cover adds to its charm. I will forever cherish this book.

I mean, I even got the lonely mountain from the map in the book tattooed on me, so I will hold it with me always.

The sense of impeding doom on this one holds true to the story. Classic

Blade Runner graphic novel is one of the best novels that I have bought.

I love the main character and the cyberpunk environment that you feel from the cover. I recommend the entire series to all fans of cyberpunk and Blade Runner.

For me, as always my favourite book will always be, Magician by Raymond E Fiest,

This is his original cover for the book, it has changed 11 times over the years.

I believe it was John Jude Palencar who done the cover art for this book and the other matching covers for the other books in this series. I like sword and thorn crown combo with the city silhouette. Each cover of thr series in this edition had a sword as the main focus but I think this is the best one.
