As the release date for the new paperback edition of Dinosaur Wars: Blood On The Moon draws near, I’ve finally got the new cover art. I think it gets the point of the story across pretty well.
There’s Kit Daniels, looking pretty in her pink spacesuit, and as formidable as Princess Leia, given the M-16 assault rifle she’s chosen as an accessory.
And there behind her is her favorite beau, Chase Armstrong. He’s helmeted up for a jaunt on the surface of the moon, where some laser-blazing action awaits him.
Behind them, that’s their buddy Gar The Kra, lofting his deadly aseeta blade skyward in anticipation of a showdown with humanity’s arch nemesis, Saurgon, who awaits the heroes in his lair at the south pole of the moon.
Compared to the cover of the first edition (at right) this second-edition cover is much more detailed and does a better job of telling the story in the blink of an eye. Of course, it leaves the outcome of the adventure unstated. Debonaire as they may appear, there’s nothing on the cover to betray whether they all make it back from their lunar sojourn.
Those answers await the release of the new edition, which I expect to happen in the next few weeks. In fact, I’ve already pushed the go button for release of the paperback from CreateSpace. It takes a few weeks for a book–whether paperback or ebook–to work its way through the distribution channels, so it’s not time yet to shout it to the world. However, it wouldn’t hurt to check around if you’re interested, because Dinosaur Wars: Blood On The Moon–like Saurgon’s death ray–is poised to hit every corner of the earth!
