Here it is:
I'm pretty sure I see a boat on this one, it's just not as prominent as on the other covers. Unless that's just wishful thinking. Anyone else?
Cover art revealed! Blood and Bone

LOL at the grip...otherwise it's generic, competent, uninspired - hope they keep the awkward swordsmen about to whack himself in the face for the lulz though.

I'm surprised no one else has noticed that apparently...
Cambodia's ANGKOR WAT is on Wu.
I mean they aren't even trying to hide that it's a slightly photoshopped / filtered pic from the Angkor complex outside Siem Riep. They even put the characters body in the way of one of the Buddha reliefs so that they wouldn't have to clone it out.
This is....weak. Like the weakest of the covers because of the lack of effort.

No, he is only in chainmail. He left the plate mail at the beach.

Hopefully in this installment we finally discover the identity of the legendary back-facing man who graced the covers of The Crippled God and Orb Sceptre Throne
Isn't he in profile on the cover of OST? He is on mine, anyway. 2/3rds at least.

Looks more a chainmail nightgown than anything you'd want to go to war in.

Oh, Steve Stone, you so lazy.
"Here is light. You will say that it is not a living entity, but you miss the point that it is more, not less. Without occupying space, it fills the universe. It nourishes everything, yet itself feeds upon destruction. We claim to control it, but does it not perhaps cultivate us as a source of food? May it not be that all wood grows so that it can be set ablaze, and that men and women are born to kindle fires?"

What's he so ready to fight off anyway? The massive, vague, jizz-stain smiley face that was poorly layered onto him?
What has been seen, cannot be unseen.. Now it all looks like a massive joke from Steve Stone.
Except I doubt he could pull that off.

I'm fed up with the Stone covers. tCG had a relevant one with Yedan Derryg, but OST was Generic Dude who nobody could identify after the book was read and this one is almost certainly generic dude and it's so badly done. The Codex books at least had Tavi again and again.
This is so bad that it makes me question the job that the editor is doing in regards to cover art.
I survived the Permian and all I got was this t-shirt.

It's especially disappointing because I think if it was executed better, it could be really cool. But it isn't. It doesn't even look like a good photoshop job. The stance of the soldier person is really awkward, too.
To me it just looks really hastily put together. At least the FoD cover looked finished.
And it doesn't have a boat.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Fortunately easy enough to fix. Just remove Generic Chainmail Dude and put a boat in instead.

I thought it was alright....
Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....
