<\/p>Between getting married, two honeymoons on two continents, and several simultaneous job deadlines, I\u2019ve been meaning to pimp the following recent books upon their initial release. So without further ado, a few titles that have released within the last couple of months\u2026
$\"\"$ <\/a>STAR TREK \u2014 CRUCIBLE: KIRK \/ THE STAR TO EVERY WANDERING<\/span> (David R. George III \/ Pocket Books)
The third book in Pocket Books\u2019 epic CRUCIBLE trilogy, which commemorated the 40th Anniversary of the original STAR TREK series\u2026.put all three paperback covers together, and it forms a triptych.\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>X-MEN: THE RETURN<\/span> \u2014 (Chris Roberson \/ Pocket Books)
THE UNCANNY X-MEN was my favorite comic book when I was a kid, so doing this cover was something of a dream come true\u2026a pleasure to see this book out in stores as it was a collaboration with an editor (Jennifer Heddle) and an author that I root mightily for\u2026<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>ON HER MAJESTY\u2019S SECRET SERVICE<\/span> \/ SFBC Omnibus \u2014 (Charles Stross)
With the recent very unfortunate personnel moves over at the SFBC, I\u2019m not sure what the availability will be on this book. Again, very best wishes out to Andrew Wheeler and Ellen Asher. <\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>NEBULA AWARDS SHOWCASE 2007<\/span> (edited by Mike Resnick \/ Roc Books)
I didn\u2019t illustrate or design this cover, but I wrote an essay called \u201cTo Boldly Go: A Strange, Beautiful Future for Genre Cover Art,\u201d which is included along with some of the finest short stories of the past year.<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
