Info on the Next Titan Novel: Fortune of War

[JD]

Wow, that is a pretty quick turnaround. I has just assumed the Akira was just temporary stand in, but apparently it was a mistake.

^Same. Kudos to the Pocket team for turning around a new cover in less than two weeks. Thank you for your dedication to us nerdy Trekkies! (and apologies for being nerdy Trekkies)

Same here.

The new one is definitely a more akirate depiction of the Titan.

Still, the Akira looked good on that cover. Lucky for us we got to see both versions.

I note the planet(s) in the background were also changed-- now the one there is shattering, instead of the more generic planet-and-moon of the original.

Great cover-improvement. Mojo comes through in a pinch!

I noted a lot of people on David's facebook complaining it was wrong to begin with, but compare this to another recent cover mix-up, with New Frontier's The Returned, where S&S just published the book with the wrong ship on the cover. So good on everyone involved in getting it right.

Wow! That's a fantastic cover I like it alot.

I don't know if Peter David made as impassioned a plea as I did to S&S to have his cover re-done. It's also possible that his was released later in the process, or had been sent to the printer early, in which case it would not have been possible to fix it. There are a lot of variables involved in this process.

Oh yeah, I know! I'm just saying that complaining about a mistake on a cover that gets fixed seems a little silly considering it could have not be fixed. (Peter's book was an e-book, so printing wasn't a variable, though.)
