Today in the Liaden Universe®

[rolanni]

It is a truism of the freelance lifestyle that one lives always in pleasant anticipation of the arrival of money, and this morning was no different than any other in that regard.

I make a clean breast at once.  Today, we did not get money in the mail.

Today, we got something better.

I have here in my hand a letter from David Mattingly, enclosing the first of 50 prints of the wrap-around cover for Neogenesis, the twenty-first novel in the Liaden Universe®.  David also kindly compliments the book, letting us know that he felt a "special connection."

We also find that Amazon today has put up a catalog page for Neogenesis, which includes the publisher's synopsis.  Here's that link.

And here is the cover art:

There are forty-nine more prints available.  Apply to David Mattingly, if you would like to purchase one.  Here's a link.

I think this cover will be better with the book name on it.

Very pretty, but a little too much for me.

...is it just me, or does that space ship have a face painted on the front of it?

Oh good, it isn't just me. My first thought was "Rudolph".

But it will make a lovely new wallpaper for the work computer once my dead tree copy of Gathering Edge arrives. I always have the covers (or paintings of the covers) of books I'm waiting for as wallpaper, despite the "what the heck is that" comments. Trying to explain Blood Enemies has been interesting.

Holy cats, look at those *colors*. Wow. Wow!!

It's definitely a picture that gets better the more you enlarge it.
