Ascendant Stars Cover Art Article in Scifi Now
Posted on December 31st 2011 | Leave a commentWell, here we are at the uttermost final hours of 2011, in some ways a pretty awful year (taking a political perspective) yet for yr hmble scribe it has been a bit of a watershed year what with the publication of The Ascendant Stars, the final volume of the Humanity’s Fire trilogy, which rounds off five years or so of dedicated hard work. The trilogy has also been published in Germany and France, and next autumn will appear in the USofA, from Orbit US, which is of course beyond splendid.
Curiously, however, here in the UK one almost gets the feeling that the book has appeared (as Harry Harrison used to say) under conditions of extreme secrecy. Well, okay, I exaggerate, what with the excellent review by Eric Brown in the Guardian back at the start of November, coinciding with its publication on November 3rd. Yet thus far, from the two main pop-SF magazine outlets, SFX and Scifi Now, not so much as a sniff of a review. Odd that.
On the other hand, Scifi Now Online did highlight the cover art for Ascendant Stars (by the very talented Steve Stone), and here is the link for your delectation:

All that remains is to wish all my readers and all visitors to this here blog a very happy and survivable New Year. Have a good un, and see y`all on the other side!

The Orphaned Worlds, artwork by Steve Stone
Thought you would like to see Steve Stone’s artwork as it appears on the trade paperback edition. The mass-market edition paperback will be slightly different and in keeping with that for Seeds Of Earth. If you go to the Orbit website (see link below) you can hunt around and find a rather spiffy desktop wallpaper version of this.

Seeds Of Earth – fantabulous cover by Steve Stone!
Posted on September 26th 2008 | 9 Comments so far
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!
