New Runes Cover
So I was browsing a bookstore the otherday when I noticed that Fatal Revenant was in some form of paper back and that the new covered RotE was released. Needless to say (I am typing, after all), I was not impressed to say the least (to say a little more, I was slightly appalled...). To get to the point of the topic, what's everyone's opinion on the new RotE cover illustration?

I've only seen the Runes of the Earth with the UK cover. I've seen both covers of Fatal Revenant and the US cover of that is horrendous. So that would mean that the US cover would be equally as bad. But i don't know of any 'new' cover..

It's actually sad, I saw it whilst browsing at barnes and nobles. It had a guy (probably Liand) turning to face the front with a couple of "horses" (Ranhyn) and a swirly greenish fog (reminded me of the new "Mirror of her dreams" cover) which is probably suppose to be a ceasure. I went the next day to get a picture, and they were gone! The help counter disavowed any knowledge of such books... So until they become more widespread, and my account is verified, I guess the poll should read, "Is Orlion crazy and seeing things?" That'd be embarassing
I'll keep looking though...

Can't find anything on Google matching that description
It's possible it was a different book, and you just wanted to see SRD on there

Ha! I'm not as crazy as I thought! (This particular copy of Runes of the Earth was found at the Athens Book Center, for those interested in such things

I could make some inquiries, see how one would get a hold of these books, or at least a ISBN, once I return next week. I'll post information for those interested and just to increase my number of posts

Interesting to note ..that instead of the metaphorical landscape,,we have Liand (?) looking directly at the Reader,,in a " ready to go" posture,,with the Ranyhyn in the background supporting the idea..Fascinating!....but where are the stars on the horses foreheads?

If she withdrew from exaltation, she would be forced to think- And every thought led to fear and contradictions; to dilemmas for which she was unprepared.
