WeiryWriter Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 So just thought I'd let people know that Brandon posted the cover art for Skin Deep on his blog! I think it looks fantastic, and how it matches the style of the first. Subterranean Press has a pre-order for the Limited edition (leather-bound) hardcover on their site. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurkistan Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 I like this cover too. --- Obnoxious thread-hijacking and sidenote: Do we know if a more "normal" hardback is coming out? Just a run-of-the-mill hardback like there was for the first Legion, I mean, rather than a $45 signed/numbered/leatherbound edition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delightful Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) Weiry, that looks AWESOME. And it really represents how the different aspects all work together, which I don't think Legion's cover did so much. Very cool. Kurk, I've been wondering the exact same thing. Edit: From the blog post This book will also be released as an ebook and an audiobook, but the only version up for preorder at this time is Subterranean’s gorgeous limited edition. A special bonus for the limited edition readers is that you will also get the ebook version before anyone else. It looks like not Edited July 10, 2014 by Delightful 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeiryWriter Posted July 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Actually there will be, if the limited edition sells out, but it won't have the cover or interior art. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeiryWriter Posted August 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Just an FYI but if you pre-order the limited edition from Subterranean Press, you'll get a free copy of the ebook. There are also two interior art pieces: I wonder what they mean? (source for everything) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmingly Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 The first one seems pretty straightforward - the plot will involve a method of storing digital information biochemically or genetically. The cell appears to be a virus - influenza, maybe? The strand in the back might be a strand of hair, which would make the virus something held in the dust, but it might just be a decoration, in which case it's probably an inner infection. What does the data contain? Hard to say, apart from that it's binary. The second scene suggests a betrayal. The way that the woman looks directly at the viewer, and the way that the gun is held slightly off-centre, suggests both competency and intimacy - she trusts Steven to be reasonable when she's holding the weapon. Her suit isn't ruffled, and they're in an alley, either on some pretence or as a result of her threatening him to make him go there. She seems calm, collected, suggesting that Steven is as well. What does the CAL on the dumpster sticker signify? California jumps to mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argent Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 You will also notice that she appears to have a skin condition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeiryWriter Posted August 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 You will also notice that she appears to have a skin condition. Huh, I had thought it was a necklace, but it does look skin-colored... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argent Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 I tried to see it as a necklace, but it doesn't work for me. It doesn't look like it sits on top of the skin, it looks like it's part of it. Plus, there's the color. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorna Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) First, let me say I am insanely eager to read this one, and the cover is brilliantly done. As I read the blurb on Subterranean, I was thinking, This is going to be Awesome! Then I got to this part... But there’s a catch. The corpse is that of a pioneer in the field of experimental biotechnology, a man whose work concerned the use of the human body as a massive storage device. He may have embedded something in the cells of his now dead body. And that something might be dangerous… ...and the ancient human need to believe that death is not the end. ...and I'm thinking OK, so boilogical warfare? AI? genetic manipulation... Wait. Hold it. PLEEEASE tell me this isn't some zombie spin-off! *gag* I supose if anyone could pull it off and make that cleche seem fresh, original, and suspend my disbelief, it would be Sanderson. But still. edited spelling and stuff. Edited October 12, 2014 by Lorna 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Joe in the Bush Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 Better Late than Never. If you look down, the Woman is holding a bag in her left hand. It's pretty Obvious that she just double-crossed and robbed Steven. What do you think the bag holds? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
