Agreed to all, particularly the artist. When did Bren turn into a crosseyed moron, and what happened to the beautiful atevi in the first trilogy? Oh WAIT, Michael Whelan stepped out. As did the decent copy-editors, half the time. Grrrrrrrrrr...

Michael Whelan may have stepped out decades ago, but to me the atevi will always be sleek and elegant looking while Bren will always be hot. *g*

Exactly. As per the covers of the first trilogy. =P

(one of these days I'm going to get a print of the cover of 'Invader')

[viridian5]

I have Invader in hardcover, which is the closest I'll get to having a print of the cover. *g*

I have it in mint first edition hardcover, and I have it in handy trade paperback form, and I'm *still* going to probably buy a print of the cover. Because I'm nuts like that.
