Just seen the cover of this on amazon.co.uk, looks pretty good. Got Krysty rocking an assault rifle overlooking a convoy. She appear's to be in a PVC jumpsuit which is a bit weird. Best cover in a while.

Man, love this cover art of Krysty blasting away. The new Chrono Spasm artwork is very cool, too! Is this another new artist?

The artist is Dave Seeley, and you can see more of his work at http://www.DaveSeeley.com - including being able to purchase prints. I just found his website recently, it looks like he has been the artist since at least the last ten books, maybe more. I am still mining his site for more images. If you wanted a print of the Nemesis cover you can find it at http://www.daveseeley.com...7/h925749c#h12c455f2

Yeah, I had a brain fart there for a moment.
His website is amazing! I didn't realize how many different book covers I recognized that he's done.
Also some very awesome future Deathlands covers! He seems to be getting better at it, the imagery of the cover art, especially without all the titles and such in the way, all folded out like that, makes the DL covers and past and future, look way better than Gold Eagle publishes them.
The colors and visuals on his website are spectacular.
We are lucky to have such a talent doing the cover art.

Actually, Krysty and Brigid Baptiste look and dress exactly alike on these covers. Except Brigid always seems to be wearing a bustier top, like a dominatrix type.

I wonder which book the painting of Ryan firing at the tank (a bit pointless if you ask me!!!) at close range will be used for? It is titled only as what appears to be a file name?

Yeah, this guy is awesome. I recognized a lot of those covers before I realized he had the book titles listed below (duh...). Which one are you talking about, Baz? The only DL covers I see are all labelled.

Go to his publishing portfolio and its number 82 (hover your cursor over the thumbnail to see its number) its page seven I think. Jim

That would be Nick Polatta's next book. Just read the synopsis, and you'll see that some baron chick has a slew of tanks to fight with. So I would wage that goes with the pic.

I missed that image. Just added it to the book page for Sins of Honor. Nice one.

Yeah, its pretty cool, albeit useless to fight a tank like that. Need a much bigger blaster than that to take a tank down. Like an RPG, or something akin to that.

The only problem is, it is written by Nick Polatta, who I thought used to pen pretty solid DL's at one time. I don't know what happened to him... But I hope for the best, and maybe, just maybe, his upcoming DL might just be a solid one.

My sarcasm failed to come over in that last post of mine... it will be another NP sausage machine churn out me thinks. Jim

Well, at least if it turns out to be a pig in has some awfully nice lipstick on it.

Wow, what a great story! I liked this one a lot. The whole adventure was a real page turner. The ending, well, that just HAD to have hurt. Our heroes actually took some damage this time around, but not nearly as much as everyone else. The only error I detected was Doc's LeMat being reloaded with .44 Remington cartridges. Whoops.
I thought the flow and balance of the story went very well. I liked how the author integrated the various storylines for a cohesive story. It was also nice to see other characters that were more...errrr...normal than your run of the mill A-holes.
Lots of my past complaints about the characters, storyline, and plot issues have largely been resolved. I think the authors who are writing these stories are doing an excellent job. Keep up the good work!
