Final cover for Fallen Gods.

If this is a repost, please close this topic.
But I can't remember if the final cover for Fallen Gods was posted yet, since the last art I remember seeing was with a Sovereign class on the front.

I kinda like it. Not the best cover ever, but not bad.

Re: Final cover for Fallen Gods.

I hope that's not final. Because Riker's right eye is looking off to the right, while his left eye is looking up to the sky.

I'm glad they included Titan on the cover. More shots of the ship, please.

^Agreed, nice to see Titan on the cover. The Lunar Class has a great look

Re: Final cover for Fallen Gods.

Honestly, I'd rather see more images of the alien crew members like we got with Dr. Ree & Ensign Lavena.

I really thought that was the plan back when the series began to slowly portray all of them.

Re: Final cover for Fallen Gods.

Am I the only one who doesn't like how "TITAN" takes up a third of every cover? I get that it gives the series its own distinctive look, but it kind of irks me.

Anyway, I think this looks pretty cool, even with Riker going all Derpy Hooves on it.

I think that was Marco Palmieri's plan when he was editing the series, but he's not with Pocket anymore.

Really underwhelming, along with Micheal Martin being the author, it's a definite pass.

I think it looks horrible in the images on line, but awesome in print with the spot varnish. Or at least it did when the first few books had that - I wouldn't be surprised if Pocket skimped out in the meantime...

I like it. Simple, but effective.

I think that Riker is pretty much a direct screenshot from First Contact though when he's listening to the reports of the Battle of Sector 001.

Yes, it is. I found the screenshot at TrekCore's HD screencap gallery 4 (I think links to the gallery pages will work even though direct links to the screencaps won't). I think it's been modified slightly, though -- the whites of the eyes seem a bit brighter and the pupils a tiny bit smaller, as though the artist filled in the whites and painted over a bit of the pupil edges as a result.

Not that it's very hard to Photoshop another rank pip onto the collar.

I didn't at first but I've grown to like it quite a bit. It makes it standout from other covers on the bookshelf.
