Hard to choose...
No hesitation with this one Timesmith gets my vote!
My vote goes to TERMINAL.
Do you know it is the final instalment in the amazing TUNNELS series?
Timesmith for me! I love the panorama of future/past London in the top of the cover. Good follow on from Sorrowline too.
Hi, Vincent. No prizes for guessing which one I voted for.
looks like you are using a lo-res scan for Dan though.
Thomas
Anyone who not only writes the book but also produces such a fabulous cover gets my vote!
The cover the fury is awesome looking as well as alex Gordon smith is an outstanding author
I would love TERMINAL to win. The series has some stunning cover designs by David Wyatt and it's a pretty good read too! Terminal is the finale in this superb series.
Dan and the caverns of bone. because of Dan's cool shades
Voted for Fury. Awesome cover!
There is only on choice people... The Fury is the best. make the right choice. :-)
Dan and the Caverns of Bone is fun, colourful and has just the right amount of story detail to catch a Young Reader's eye, which is what book covers are all about, I think.
I'm going for Dan & the cavern of Bone because 1. I like the look of it & 2 I am impressed by writer/illustrators who are any good.
I loved them all - but most I love Dan and the Caverns of Bone for the slightly Scooby-Doo vibe...
The Fury is the most terrifyingly beautiful cover I've seen in a long time, how can everyone not be voting for it!
Good luck Gordon! <3
The cover for The Fury is moving, chilling and disturbing: everything a horror cover should be. I bet the content is every bit as captivating. well done to that illustrator/designer!!
I voted for Timesmith. Great use of colour and shadows
Caverns of Bone-so much there to please & entertain the eyeball for many a moment.
Purely based on cover... The Fury
Definitely The Bell Between the Worlds :)
My favourite by far is "The Bell Between Worlds" Great cover and brilliant book!!
Obviously Timesmith is the One!
Timesmith had to be.
terminal - roderick gordon!!!
