Oh my! That's gorgeous.
It's not something I'd really given a lot of thought to until now but, looking at the covers on the right side of the page, there really is some beautiful artwork going on there.
-
That really does look awesome!
-
Who is that on the cover? (the person with white hair carrying a sword)

ah! sorry about that. not a spam, just a double post cause i couldn't see it the first time.
-
I'm assuming that's Tisamon and Tynissa? Lovely cover, really looking forward to it but the bar's been set very high by the Scarab Path IMHO.
-
Excellent cover. I think the covers have becaome really interesting since salute the dark as i think the background details help a lot. It's also good to see the title is no longer "book 7" and if the characters on the cover are who Claire thinks then it could be very interesting.
Is this planned to be out before the end of 2011? -
I'm guessing its Tynissa and Darakyon Forest. Fantast cover though, really striking and the whole series of covers are just remarkable.
-
Mr. Tchaikovsky, you and Mr. Sullivan win some awesome cake:
-
The cake is a lie, or at least an over-used pop culture reference.
And yes, that is Tynisa, and Jon's done a fantastic job with her.

I can't wait. Has the manuscript for this already been submitted? For lack of a better term, is this in post production? Any talk of a release date? I literally had to smuggle the scarab path out of England. Trust me, you have an American market, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who has had to resort to desperate measures to get their hands on that book.
Also, I'm guessing that's actually not Darakyon Forest, but only AT can weigh in on that.

The MS for Heirs (or Blade? What do we think. for an abbreviation) has been submitted, but is in the first edit stage at the moment. Release date isn't set to my knowledge but will probably be August 2011, and this is likely to represent the last time we get just 6m between books, as the series is catching me up. However, despair not! I am hopeful the gap won't be as long as a year, in any event — 9m seems a decent compromise (1).
As for what is represented by Tynisa's dance partner, foip foip foip. But if you've finished Scarab Path you have probably foiped.
(1) that's months, not minutes.

Ahg , Dang I'm falling behind I have yet to read The Scarab Path. Dar'vit! I cant wait to get The Scarab Path, I'll read it in one(Or more) nights.
-
Reply @ Sargash. You have 2 months, and I may set questions…
-
I'm voting for 'Blade'
-
Two months ha, I'd be lucky just to see a buy able or readable copy of "The Scarab Path" in that time let alone actually read it.

Hello from Slovenia (u know, the country that looks like chicken, next to italy and below austria 😀 )
just finished scarab path (10 min ago) and looking forward to the "blade" 😀 the cover is awesome.. 😀
-
Reply @ Marko — don't forget Sea Watch that comes in between! Blade isn't likely to hit the shelves until late this year, August at the earliest, possibly later (we're still working out the timing for books 7–9).
But yes, this is a truly phenomenal cover. I think it's my all-round favourite to date.
-
That is outstanding art work for book seven. When is it coming out? Is there more artwork coming out for the insect kinden in general? Maybe some interesting art work of sea kinden?
-
Heirs of the Blade looks on schedule for release this August, with The Air War probably August 2012 (just in time for the apocalypse).

Hi
I'm a fan from Croatia (Hello to my Slovenian neighbour :))
I have to say that i'm hooked and very much looking forward to book 7, I'm on book 6 atm, taking it slow (in between studies)and i don't want to have too much empty time between 6 and 7
I hope too see some of my fav characters in there 🙂
I'm lving the cover very much, might be my fav so far!
keep on the good work and hope to meet you someday 🙂
p.s. I've been trying to cast characters in my head for an imaginative on screen production, how awesome would that be.
cheers

I think it would be great if you could say who is on the cover of each book. Some you can see but Im having trouble with others. Take the scarab path for example, the character on the front seems to be wearing the mynan resistance cloak/tunic but seems to be to slim to be Che?
and I must also say that the art on these books is what drew me towards them in the book store. Great work!
-
Scarab Path is indeed Che. Obviously the desert climate agrees with her. I think the others should all be self-explanatory (although with a few you have options as to whether they're a named character or an example of the kinden, like the hooded Wasp on Empire's cover).
-
i cant wait! where can i get a copy in America?????
-
At this point in time you'll have to try and get the UK edition — available via Amazon.com I think.
-
god,that is one beautiful image.beholding I am.

So I just discovered the Shadows of the apt series, I found empire of black and gold in the house mini library on one random day about November last year and couldn't stop reading the series, I have just gotten to The sea watch and have loved every book ever since, this starts off a little slow and dull in my opinion but I'm guessing it's cause of the introduction of new characters. The scarabs path has definitely been my favorite, saw the Che-thalric romance coming ever since they met when I realised age don't mean a thing lol. Can't believe it's her on the cover however, I thought she'd be plump and kinda shorter. Anyhow thank you Adrian tchaikovsky. Back to the boooook
