What city is that on the cover of the book?

Thanks Krad.

So it's not San Diego?

It was actually supposed to be Detroit...

No way it'd be a Earth city anyway.

Tho I'd vote for Vancouver, BC.

If it were to be any Earth based city, I would hope it's Stoke on Trent

I don't care about the city on the cover -- I'm just wondering when that jigsaw puzzle goes on sale.

Oh, sure, everybody stoke on Trent. He won't mind if you jab him with a poker, eh? Bloody persecution, this is...

The cover reminds me a bit of 9-11.

Joking aside, it's a real place and I had the (mis)fortune of going to university there.

Something tells me that may have been intentional.

It reminds me of the destroyed Earth on Enterprise.

I've heard of it. I've googled myself enough to be quite familiar with the Roman ruins near Stoke on Trent. Also, the Roman Catholic Council of Trent.

Can someone post a link to the cover picture, so we can all see what we're trying to describe?

Hey, I'd buy it.

Come to think of it, I've never seen a circular-plan jigsaw puzzle before. That would be pretty devious to solve. Instead of four corner pieces you could use as anchors, you'd just have a single uniform edge. The only piece that could serve as an anchor would be the center piece. And the galaxy image is fairly uniform, so it would be tough to match pieces by image or color. It would be an interesting challenge.

Thanks. My e-book version didn't come with a cover image I could easily access. {ProfJonathan}

I've never thought about that either. It certainly would help to start by laying the pieces on a ball and working downwards. A sticky ball would help. ;-)

I've seen a 3D jigsaw for a planetary globe once, although I believe the bottom (Antartica) was flat to give the structure some support. Of course, other than large expanses of ocean like the Pacific, a global jigsaw is pretty easy.
