Steve Stone is The Man – it was he who created the covers for my Shadowkings books, three wonderful images that I`ll treasure forever, and now he’s done it again for my new book, SEEDS OF EARTH, due out in March next year from Orbit UK.
What you’re seeing are the three colonyships which flee from an Earth under siege, one which ends up 15,000 light years away, at a world where the human colonists finally settle. They call the planet Darien and go undiscovered for 150 years, whereupon they become the focus for all manner of high melodrama and galaxy-shattering events!
Stay tuned!

Wow. Heh…that’s…that’s… Have I said “Wow” yet?
That’s a beaut, Mike. Proper space-op and that. I imagine you’re feeling justifiably lovely right now.
Oh. Now that *is* nice. If it’s okay with you, I’ll crosspost that cover on my own blog and give you a mention. Spread the word, as it were.
Thanx for looking in, guys – it certainly has that icecool tech-between-the-stars feel to it. Next thing will (hopefully) be a wee youtube movie shot and edited by me old mucker, Peri Urban.
Thanks to Gary for pointing this one out on his blog. It’s added to my list and I’ll be getting this as soon as I can!
Thanks Mark, much appreciated – I hope to post a sample excerpt in the next month or so, subject to my editor’s nod!
cheers!
The blurb and cover (I know it’s not about the cover, but it doesn’t hurt to have a good looking book on the shelf!) have got me excited enough about the book so I’ll be waiting with anticipation for that to come up
Incredible cover! I’m a huge fan of Steve’s work, and for him to do a cover of your novel says great things about the book.
Oh boy – hope you like it when it finally hits the shelves.
