Feast Your Eyes On This: Bright of the Sky

3 Comments /

Am I allowed to have a favorite cover? If so, this could quite possibly be it. Stephan Martiniere’s latest, with design by Jacqueline Cooke. This is Bright of the Sky, the first book in Kay Kenyon’s exciting sci-fantasy quartet The Entire and the Rose. Kay, long recognized for her excellent world-building, has outdone herself with a tale of Titus Quinn, a human space pilot thrust into a pocket landscape called “the Universe Entire,” ruled by an oppressive Overlord race and peopled with multiple bizarre creatures. Bright of the Sky is high adventure & high concept, in the vein of Dan Simmons Hyperion or Philip José Farmer’s Riverworld. The world has a somewhat Mandarin flavor, and sits right between science fiction and fantasy – all of which Stephan captures brilliantly. The book is due out from Pyr in April, 2007.

Brasyl: Think BLADERUNNER in the Tropics

8 Comments /

Presented for your viewing pleasure: the front cover of multiple-award winning author Ian McDonald’s much-anticipated next novel, Brasyl. As it was with River of Gods, artwork is once again courtesy of Hugo-nominated artist Stephan Martiniere, with design by Jacqueline Cooke. (Right click to enlarge.)

Billed as Bladerunner in the tropics, , Brasyl will do for Brazil what River of Gods does for India. Speaking in the August 2006 issue of Locus, Ian says, “My book Brasyl is set in present-day Brazil (or what seems like it), in Sao Paulo 2032, and in 1732 Brazil just before the Jesuits were expelled. It revolves around the way quantum computing opens up multiple parallel universes… and, of course, a whole lot more besides.” Brasyl will be published May, 2007.
